Path of Exile is Joining the Battle Royale Scene

The Path of Exile is adding a playable Battle Royale mode in just one day. If you manage to survive in the match, you can even get a nice winner’s Roha dinner. Although the Path of Exile is not exactly the kind of game that you'd expect to add a Battle Royale mode, it is very interesting. You take the game’s action RPG gameplay and toss it into a mutli-player deathmatch and somehow it creates something almost magical.

Although this mode can run with at least 20 players, you can play with up to 100 players in a single match. As with other Battle Royale modes, there’s a shrinking circle players must follow to avoid death between bouts with other players. If you manage to win one of these modes, you will get a  Rhoa (which is a kind of dinosaur, which is sort of a chicken?) Dinner decorations to display in your hideout.

Here are the directions on how to play the Battle Royale mode according to Grind Gear Games’ official announcement:
 

• If you don’t already have a Path of Exile account, sign up here.
• Run the PC version of Path of Exile and let it download patch 3.2.2 (PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE).
• Launch the game, and log in to your account.
• Click the Join button on the PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE banner which is displayed to the left of the screen.
• Choose a character class and name as normal.
• Once in the game, you won’t be able to move until the game starts. Once there are 20 players, there will be 30 additional seconds for players to join (up to maximum of 100) before the game starts.
• Games are hosted on servers located at the gateway you logged in on. If there aren’t enough players, try a different gateway.
• Once the game starts, the play area will shrink periodically. Stay within the red circle or you’ll die.
• The direction to the centre of the safe zone is always displayed at the feet of your character, so keep moving in that direction.
