Path of Exile is a free-to-play dark fantasy action role-playing game developed by Grinding Gear Games and released in 2013, set in the grim world of Wraeclast. Its moody audio and long-running community of players, streamers and build creators have kept its sounds in circulation well beyond the game itself. Short clips like this one are shared on soundboards and reused in edits because they are instantly recognisable to fans, even without dialogue, and they carry the game's tense atmosphere into memes, reactions and highlight videos.
