Good news if true

Mark always seems to be pro fun so seems plausible

I think that interview isn't real because why would mark say he wants sanctum to have unique sanctum only rewards when those already exist in the form of several unique items?

For funsies, I asked ChatGPT about it. It had this to say (after several checks):

"

The Sportskeeda article is based on a real, recent interview with Path of Exile’s Game Director, Mark Roberts. The quotes and topics have appeared across multiple credible outlets. It’s not fake or AI‑written—it’s a genuine piece of developer journalism.

"

The Sportskeeda article reflects a bona fide interview with real comments from Mark Roberts. It's not fake or AI-generated.

/shrug

In my experience, AI engines are extremely poor at determining if something is AI-generated.

Sounds like AI fluff. If GGG had done an interview, they’d have announced it in time, just like every previous interview they humbly and proudly shared with a set date.

So basically, you tossed a coin into a well for a 50/50 shot at whether the AI gives you something accurate or just made-up nonsense. Not really your best bet to put all your trust into whatever AI tells you is true.

Honestly, we’re talking about Sportskeeda here, an outlet with a history of sketchy posts and plenty of fake news in the sports and gaming world. What else is new?

How many fake interviews with GGG have you seen and why this in particular would be one of them? Yes 3.26 seem to get less press coverage than a usual content update, at least GGG didn't even bother to provide links to the articles this time. But they exist and they are real.

I don't see where exactly this one contradicts the currency reward nerf from Sanctum mentioned in the Q&A (wich is more up-to-date). Having said that, it's already mid Wednesday in NZ and we haven't got the info, so the nerf might not make it in 3.26.
