The announcement named the expansion and promised that the ExileCon broadcast would show it, together with other news for both games.
The reveal came on 6 November as scheduled: a witch-themed challenge league built on Fates and the Wickerman, Scarabs replaced by Threads of Creation across a rebuilt Atlas, tiered magic and rare drops, and, for Path of Exile 2, a free-to-play 1.0 on 11 December with the Shadow and the Duelist. Each part has its own record on the timeline, and the first-week guide sets them out with their sources.
