Grinding Gear Games devs have posted a brief note on the Path of Exile site to let the community know what is in the works. Of particular notice, the team has announced that the game’s next expansion will be announced on August 20th.
What can players expect from the expansion? According to the post, players will find a new challenge league, improvements to older master content, and systems changes. The team isn’t ready to reveal all of the details yet, but they hinted that systems changes are based on “areas that the community has given [them] vocal feedback”. Of course, the expansion will come with new items, gems, and archetypes.
Tentatively, the as-yet-unnamed Path of Exile expansion will launch on September 6th. As a result, the currently running Legion challenge league will end for PC players on September 3rd. The console league will end the same day that the expansion launches.
The letter also announces that the final ExileCon Race Event Qualifying tournament will be held on August 17th. The winner of this event will be present at ExileCon, a PoE fan convention coming in November, for the finals.
