As Path of Exile fans eagerly await the release of Path of Exile 2, the developers at Grinding Gear Games have given us a closer look at what to expect in the highly anticipated expansion. Titled Dawn of the Hunt, this update is shaping up to be one of the most exciting chapters in the Path of Exile universe, promising new gameplay mechanics, challenges, and lore.
During the recent developer insights reveal, the team shared key details about the upcoming content, including new features, the expanded story, and gameplay changes. Let’s break down everything we learned from the Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt preview.
A New Chapter in the Path of Exile Saga
Path of Exile 2 is set 20 years after the events of the original game, introducing a fresh storyline and a new era of exile-driven chaos. The Dawn of the Hunt expansion is centered around a mysterious new enemy faction and explores the shifting balance between the forces of order and chaos. Players will find themselves facing off against deadly new beasts, rival factions, and powerful bosses as they unravel the mysteries of a world that has evolved since the events of the first game.
The new storyline promises an immersive journey, with players stepping into the shoes of the Ascendant Hunter, a character capable of wielding incredible powers and unique abilities. The dev team teased that the new story would delve deeper into the origins of Wraeclast, providing a broader scope of the world’s lore and connecting the various storylines from Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2.
New Playable Class: The Ascendant Hunter
One of the most exciting features of Dawn of the Hunt is the introduction of a new playable class: the Ascendant Hunter. This class takes the series’ iconic skill-based gameplay to the next level by combining agility, raw power, and mystical abilities into one cohesive character. The Ascendant Hunter’s powers are tied to the ancient forces of Wraeclast, granting players a completely new playstyle

EA Sports has just dropped one of the most exciting additions to FC 25 Ultimate Team yet: the 89+ Campaign ICON Picks & Packs. These high-value items are already causing major buzz across the community, and for good reason—they offer a real shot at landing some of the biggest ICONs in the game.
Whether you’re looking to bolster your squad with legendary players or hoping to cash in on top-tier trade value, these packs are the latest must-have in FC 25. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s inside, how to get them, and which ICONs are worth chasing.
What Are 89+ Campaign ICON Picks?
The 89+ Campaign ICON Picks give players the chance to select from a curated list of ICON cards, each rated 89 or higher and tied to specific campaign promos. These aren’t just the base versions either—many are special edition ICONs released during events like Team of the Year (TOTY), FUT Birthday, Trophy Titans, and others.
Unlike traditional ICON packs, where luck determines your fate, the Picks allow you to choose from three options—making it far more likely to snag a usable or meta-defining card.
What’s in the 89+ Campaign ICON Pack?
The packs are slightly different from the Picks. When you open one of these, you’ll receive a guaranteed ICON rated 89 or above, but it’s a random drop. The ICON will still be from a campaign release (not just a base version), but you won’t get the same choice as in the pick format.
While there's still some risk involved, the potential reward is massive. These packs can include some of the most overpowered players in Ultimate Team history—think Zidane, Ronaldinho, Eusebio, or TOTY Cannavaro.
How to Get Them
The 89+ ICON Picks and Packs are currently available through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), Objectives, and in some cases, the FUT Store as limited-time offers. Some may also be  offered as Weekend League rewards, though that’s still developing.
The SBCs require a significant investment—often 87 or 88-rated s
