The Path of Exile website announces Sacrifice of the Vaal, a mini-expansion coming to Grinding Gears' action/RPG on March 5th (thanks S.TODD). Here's what to expect:

Path of Exile's first mini-expansion, Sacrifice of the Vaal, launches at 1pm PST on March 5. It expands the core game and sets the pace for our ongoing four-monthly updates. Today we're proud to announce both the name and theme of the update, while teasing some of the scope of how far the Vaal corruption has spread through Wraeclast.

More information will be teased and released over the following two weeks, with a full reveal of content on February 28 at the culmination of our upcoming press tour!
