The free-to-play action RPG Path of Exile now has an open beta date stamped on it. Developer Grinding Gear has announced that the game will be in a public state on January 23, 2013.
More action-RPG goodness will be heading your way in January. No cash required. The game is currently in a closed beta state, with the game's first two acts playable. When the game hits open beta, a character wipe will be done and the entire third act of the game will be added. Before the date hits, Grinding Gear will be increasing the number of beta testers, community events, and beta key giveaways. The developer has not announced the date for the full version of the game yet.
Path of Exile is a free-to-play fantasy action RPG, and according to the game's official website, features "a strong barter-based online item economy, deep character customisation, competitive PvP and ladder races."
