‘We can go as far as we damn well please’: Path of Exile director on adding city building to a decade-old ARPG

Path of Exile usually pushes the boat out with creative features, but the upcoming expansion is taking things to another level. In Settlers of Kalguur, releasing on July 26, you can build and manage your own city—an impressive addition to a 10-year-old game.

“It was kind of like, why haven’t we done this already?” Path of Exile game director Mark Roberts told Dot Esports. Roberts said Settlers of Kalguur’s city-building feature “pushes the X-factor boundary,” and he wants every new League to be better than the last. “It shouldn’t just be: ‘You’re playing the same way [as before].’ I always want it to be: ‘You’re playing a slightly different way—an enhanced way.’”
