Path of Exile News

The week after GamesCom, our team will be headed over to Seattle to show off Path of Exile 2 at PAX West! We'll be there throughout the event from September 1st to the 5th.

If you aren't able to make it to ExileCon or GamesCom, this will be a great opportunity to get your hands on trying out Path of Exile 2 and meet some of the GGG team!

Due to time constraints, we won't be able to have a fan meet-up before or after the event, but we'd love to have a chat during it if you're there!

See you there!

This weekend we are running a Stash Tab Sale! You can view the full selection of discounted tabs by pressing M to open the store in-game. The Stash Tab sale ends at 5pm on July 10th (PDT).

If you're missing points for the sale, be sure to check out the Crucible and Core Supporter Packs!

Thanks for your support!

We've seen a lot of people asking when our 3.22 expansion will launch. It's currently looking like it will launch on August 18th (PDT). This isn't fully locked in yet. However, we will confirm its launch date at ExileCon in just a few weeks.

We've also noted that quite a few people have asked whether or not we'll be hosting end-of league-events before Crucible ends. We are currently all-hands-on-deck working on ExileCon, Path of Exile 2 and the 3.22 expansion so we aren't able to host any events this time around.

By the way, don't forget to get your Premium Vault Pass because it leaves the store when the Crucible League ends! The Premium Crucible Vault Pass features the Igneous Emperor Armour Set, which provides a variety of cosmetic effects including leaving a trail of lava in your wake, or turning your health globe into lava. The Vault Pass unlocks cosmetics as you complete bonus map objectives and is retroactive, so if you've already completed your Atlas bonus objectives you'll unlock everything in one go! Find out more or get yours here, or check out the video below.

We can't wait to show off what we've got in store, so we hope to see you live on our Twitch channel or in person at the event!

If you intend to cosplay and bring any kind of weapons from in-game please make sure that they are not actually functional in any way, as it is extremely likely that your costume weapon would not be allowed in through the security check. We will not allow any functional or dangerous costumed weapons into the event.

All costume weapons will be inspected thoroughly by event staff before being allowed admittance into ExileCon and will be tagged once they are deemed okay. The tags should not be altered or removed from the item, or the weapon may be confiscated.

Below we have put together some guidelines on various costume weapons and effects that we might expect, and how they will need to comply in order to be admitted to ExileCon:

Any costume weapons brought to ExileCon should not be in any way functional, and should also be lightweight and of an appropriate size.

Oversized items are considered anything that will inconvenience other attendees, such as being difficult to move around, unable to turn without hitting someone, etc. If we determine an item is oversized it will not be permitted.

All costume weapons and effects should not contain any live rounds, ammunition, or the ability to fire any kind of projectile (this includes anything akin to BB guns, nerf/airsoft weapons, etc.).
Replica gun costume weapons are not permitted under any circumstances.

Replica bow or crossbow costume weapons should not have a tensile string (making it possible to fire projectiles) or have no string at all. Any accompanying arrows should not have a head, or the head should be made of a soft substance and significantly blunt/rounded.

Any costume weapons with a replica blade of any kind should not be made of metal and will have blunt rounded edges. This includes but is not limited to costume weapons made to replicate daggers, swords, axes, spears and lances.

Metal costume weapons of any kind will not be allowed into the event - this may include weapons with metal parts, such as a wooden staff with a metal spear head on the top. We would consider this a weapon, and not a costume.

Sharp costume weapons of any kind will not be allowed into the event, including sharpened blades, needles, or anything with a sharp point. As above, these are real weapons and not costumes.
Large costume weapons should be made of an appropriate light-weight material. A replica Stone Hammer made of actual stone would be a real weapon, and incredibly heavy to carry all day - we would not allow this into the event. A replica Stone Hammer made of styrofoam and balsa wood would be much more appropriate for the event, and also safer.

We will not be allowing stilts at ExileCon for Health and Safety reasons.

If your costume is large you may not be permitted to sit in the allocated seating for the Keynote speeches on both days, and the closing talks on Sunday - we expect the theatre to be at capacity for these talks.

If your costume weapons do not meet these standards they will not be permitted into the event, or may be confiscated for collection at the end of the day. Please be prepared for the possibility that your costume weapon may not be permitted.

Please also consider your behaviour whilst in costume and carrying a costumed weapon - posing for "attack" photos with other attendees would be permitted. Actually wielding a replica Marohi Erqi at another attendee with any kind of force (even when it's made of foam) would not be permitted. Behaviour that our event staff considers to be dangerous or aggressive would result in being asked to leave the event.

Here are some of the cosplays from ExileCon 2019:

ExileCon 2023 is just around the corner! To allow time for printing and processing, the last day for ticket purchases or changes will be July 23rd (PDT). There are still a small number of regular and balcony tickets available, so if you've been on the fence about attending ExileCon in person, now's your final chance!

You can check out the remaining tickets and what to expect at ExileCon 2023 here!

If you require any assistance with your ticket, please email us at [email protected] before the 23rd of July.

Please also note that the name on your ticket needs to match your photo ID, so when purchasing a second ticket for your friend or a family member, make sure that the name on that ticket matches their photo ID.

We're so excited for ExileCon and we can't wait to see you there!
