Path of Exile: Mirage Launches March 6 With Mirage Maps, Reliquarian Ascendancy, and a Sweeping Atlas Overhaul

The rework targets endgame progression after a decade of Atlas stability.

Overview

  • Grinding Gear Games confirmed the Mirage league begins March 6 at 2 p.m. ET, with full 3.28 patch notes live on the official site.
  • Mirage areas are imperfect astral copies of maps that can be tuned with Wishes to add tougher encounters, extra rewards, and temporary player power.
  • Mirages preserve map enhancements such as scarabs, Atlas passives, and map modifiers, effectively letting players re-run souped‑up content for additional payout.
  • The Scion gains a Reliquarian Ascendancy that taps collected Unique items for selectable Armor, Weapon, and Jewelry powers, with the pool of Unique Powers rotating each expansion.
  • A major Atlas overhaul shifts players to a central start, decouples map items from specific areas, and introduces Arcane Astrolabes that create Shaped Regions with escalating difficulty and rewards culminating in Memory Vaults.
