PoE 3.16 Timeline
After radical game mechanics changes, players are more and more eager for the arrival of PoE 3.16. GGG will release 3.16 in October, the following is the official release schedule:
It's that time again - announcement of announcements! In today's news, we'll give you an overview of what to expect in the coming weeks as we prepare for the launch of our 3.16 expansion at the end of October.
Later this week, we'll share a follow-up news post that confirms the exact dates of both the 3.16 expansion announcement and its launch. The announcement will take place via Twitch at twitch.tv/pathofexile with Twitch Drops enabled! While we've revealed some of 3.16's details on recent community podcasts, there's still a lot to uncover. Like all Path of Exile expansions, it contains a new challenge league, skills, items, balance changes and more.
Next week, we're planning to start sharing a few minor teasers of things coming in this expansion, like items and divination cards to whet your appetite for what's coming. We're also planning to share many of our planned balance changes ahead of the announcement, including changes to ailments, defences, flasks and more.
As we mentioned in recent podcasts, we're planning to reduce the number of maps and regions in the Atlas. While the details of this are still to come, it's worth noting that this will affect existing Atlases for players in permanent leagues. If you're playing in these leagues, please keep an eye out for a coming news post that indicates what will happen to your watchstones, sextants etc.
There's a lot to talk about, and while this post didn't reveal much, we'll unveil everything in due time.
