Path of Exile: Delve is an expansion for Path of Exile. The main content being the league of the same name, which introduce Azurite Mine, and its loot the fossil and resonator.

This is also the first league-sized patch that is simply marketed as just expansion by the developers, instead of calling it "large patch" that contains a league and content update, like the previous league-sized patches Talisman (2.1.0), Prophecy (2.3.0), Breach (2.5.0) and Legacy (2.6.0). The term expansion previously reserved to significantly large patch like the 2.0 and 3.0 which added act(s) to the game, or 2.4 and 3.1 which added the new epilogue (the Atlas) storyline, or 2.2 that adds Ascendancy classes.
