I guess after Ragnarök and Atlantis, we should no longer be surprised when Titan Quest gets a new expansion, but even so, the release of Eternal Embers, the fourth expansion for the venerable action-RPG, has managed to sneak up on us. Priced at $19.99 or your regional equivalent, the expansion is now available on both Steam and GOG.

Set in the mystic realms of the Far East, Eternal Embers introduces four acts worth of content, a new mastery tree, a bunch of new enemies and bosses, and some new systems. Here's the official release trailer:

And an overview of the expansion's key features:

Summoned by the legendary Emperor Yao, the Hero is called back into the East to deal with a demonic threat that has been ravaging the land after the Telkine was slain. Upon tracking it down, the Hero and his comrades realize that the appearance of the ancient peril, Qiong Qi, was no mere coincidence and that something much more sinister is afoot...

Eternal Embers Quest

• A whole new epic quest line spanning 4 acts, accompanied by 15 additional side quests, playable exclusively in Legendary difficulty
• The player wanders through the fantastic vistas of the orient climbing to the heavens themselves and traversing the mazes of the realm of the Dragon King. From such ethereal heights to the scorching sands and temple ruins of mighty Egypt the player goes but where the path ends only destiny knows.

New 11th mastery
