Path of Exile 3.30 Gets a November 2026 Release Date
Path of Exile's 3.30 expansion will launch on November 13, 2026, in the PST time zone. The current Curse of the Allflame league ends four days earlier.
The 3.30 release window is now a firm date
Grinding Gear Games has put a firm date on Path of Exile's next major content cycle. Expansion 3.30 is scheduled to launch on November 13, 2026, based on the PST time zone. With the Curse of the Allflame Challenge League nearing its third month, the announcement gives players a concrete timeline for the transition from the current league to the next release.
For now, the announcement is focused on scheduling rather than the expansion's contents. No confirmed details have been provided about new mechanics, balance adjustments, rewards, or possible system changes. It is therefore too early to draw conclusions about the theme or gameplay structure of 3.30; those specifics have been reserved for the full reveal in November.
Curse of the Allflame ends on November 9
The current Curse of the Allflame Challenge League will conclude on November 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. PST. That leaves a calendar interval of roughly four days before the November 13 release date for 3.30. Because an exact launch hour for the expansion has not been announced, the total length of that interval cannot yet be calculated precisely.
The deadline matters most to players still pursuing objectives in the active league. Remaining challenges, character plans, and any final league activities can now be organized around the November 9 cutoff. The announcement does not mention an extension, so the published ending time is the safest point to use when planning the last stretch of Curse of the Allflame. This four-day interval also gives players time to review their characters and prepare for the next cycle without rushing. It creates a useful pause before the official presentation, reducing the need to commit resources to unverified build advice.
The full reveal is set for ExileCon in November
Comprehensive information about 3.30 will be presented during ExileCon in November 2026. The dates announced so far tell players when the next phase will begin, but the defining features of the expansion remain under wraps until the event. ExileCon will consequently serve as the main source for understanding what the new release actually adds to Path of Exile.
The official picture is currently straightforward: the existing league closes on November 9, version 3.30 arrives on November 13, and the content reveal will happen at ExileCon. Changes involving classes, skills, items, the endgame, or the economy have not been confirmed. Until the presentation takes place, speculation in any of those areas should not be treated as announced information.
An earlier 2026 promise now has a precise date
The confirmation that 3.30 will arrive this year is not entirely new. During the livestream Q&A for the 3.29 release cycle, the development team had already said that the following expansion was planned for 2026. The latest announcement narrows that broad commitment to November 13 and supplies the specific date players had been waiting for.
The next meaningful milestone is the ExileCon presentation. In the meantime, players can concentrate on current league goals, mark the November 9 closure on their calendars, and keep future character plans flexible until verified 3.30 details are available. Anyone reorganizing their Path of Exile economy ahead of the transition can trade eligible currency, items, and accounts on GameinShop with escrow protection.
