The Keepers Challenge League will end soon and you may be wondering what will happen when it does.

Old-school Breaches will be replaced by those introduced in 3.27 Keepers of the Flame, with both Unstable and Hive Breach encounters appearing naturally in areas from Act 6 onwards. There will be the usual Scarab and Atlas Tree support for a core league mechanic, including the ability to control which type of Breach encounter appears in your maps, if you have a preference one way or another!

The Genesis Tree will remain as a method of growing rewards from the flesh of your slain enemies, but Grafts will no longer be available.

So, here’s what you can expect when the league ends on March 2nd at 1PM PST

• Currently equipped Grafts will be deleted.
  
• Growing wombgifts will also be deleted, as will any Implant currencies.
  
• Any stored Graftblood will be lost.
  

Thanks to everyone for playing and to those of you still trying to complete your unfinished challenges, you still have two weeks to do so before the Keepers League ends. To those of you looking forward to something new, keep an eye on the news for the upcoming 3.28 reveal!

Our Path of Exile Talent Competition is closing in a matter of hours! If you haven't entered your submission yet, get in quick before it's too late. In the meantime, check out some recent highlights from the competition below.

As we’re now preparing for the upcoming release for Path of Exile and the launch date is set in stone, we wanted to give a small update regarding all 3.28 related dates

As we announced earlier, we are aiming for an early March release for 3.28, so here it is. Our next expansion will launch on March 6th at 11AM PST! Full information and details will be revealed during the GGG Live broadcast on February 26th at 11AM PST. As is tradition, we’ll be posting small teasers prior to the livestream, so you can expect to see them very soon.

The Keepers Challenge League will end on March 2nd at 1PM PST, so you still have some time left to complete your challenges in this league, as well as play in the Legacy of Phrecia 2.0 event which ends next Thursday.

See you soon!

There's just over one week left in our Path of Exile Talent Competition, so make sure to post your submission and show us your skills! In the meantime, check out some highlights from recent submissions below.
