Path of Exile 3.30: when the new league starts and what we know

Dates in one place

GGG wrote on October 12: "Our next expansion for Path of Exile 1 will be released on November 13 (PST), with full details to be revealed at ExileCon 2026 this November." Earlier, in the Q&A after the 3.29 reveal, the studio promised that 3.30 would come out this year.

What time does 3.30 launch

GGG has not given a time. Path of Exile leagues have launched on Friday afternoons Pacific time for years: 3.29 started on July 24 at 13:00 PDT, which is 20:00 UTC. On November 13 winter time (PST) applies, and 13:00 PST is 21:00 UTC (22:00 in Central Europe). We will add the time when GGG publishes the schedule.

What we know about the league itself

So far only the date. GGG has not revealed the name, the new league mechanic or the patch notes. Maxroll confirms that the 3.30 details will be shown at ExileCon. ExileCon 2026 takes place on November 7–8 in Auckland, New Zealand. The Twitch and YouTube broadcast starts on November 6 at 12:00 PST, and the keynote at 13:00 PST.

After the reveal, GGG usually publishes full patch notes a few days before the league starts. We will update this article after ExileCon: name, mechanic, new skills and league starter builds.

What happens to your 3.29 characters

When Curse of the Allflame ends, characters and items from the league move to the permanent leagues: softcore to Standard, hardcore to Hardcore. Nothing is lost, but in the new league everyone starts from scratch. You still have until November 9 to finish the league challenges and claim the rewards.

Path of Exile 1 in numbers

GGG promises further expansions for both games, so the Path of Exile 2 launch does not end PoE 1 development. Shop purchases are shared between both games.
