Bringing a PC game to a mobile platform is a very risky business. Even if the promotion is intense, the final result may not be satisfactory. Remember Diablo earlier this year? Grinding Gear Games should have a very clear understanding of the fiasco, but still announced the MMOAH introduction of the popular Path of Exile frees role-playing RPG game into the mobile world.
The uninspiringly named Path of Exile Mobile is being developed in-house, and because the studio puts it, the sport are going to be empty “bullshit trends” like microtransactions and pay-to-win elements. Simply put, Path of Exile Mobile will bring the core Path of Exile game to mobile in an unfiltered, no-frills no-fuss form.
Path of Exile Mobile was announced by Grinding Gear Games at ExileCon last week. Trevor Gramon, who the studio funnily calls the “Mobile Fall Guy”, made it clear within the announcement trailer that they need to bring Path of Exile to mobile with absolutely no compromise. The trailer also shows a short gameplay demo that provides a plan to us of things to come back, and you'll be able to see it below:
The intro by Grinding Gear Games co-founder Jonathan Rogers indicates that Path of Exile Mobile are going to be free from annoying mobile game tropes like microtransactions, time gates, video ads, notifications, and a pay-to-win structure, all things they bluntly discuss with as “evil garbage.” More importantly, the sport is being developed in-house by the identical team that worked on the POE Orbs primary Path of Exile game and its successor, Path of Exile 2, which was also announced last week.
Grinding Gear Games said that Path of Exile is basically tailored for smartphone screens and smaller games. Unfortunately, when it was about to be released, there was no news. In addition, there was no response from the studio.
