How Much Information Do We Know About Path Of Exile 3.26? – Release Time & New Content

Although most of the players’ attention is attracted by the very novel Path of Exile 2 at this stage, don’t forget that the new league of the original game will be released in early 2025. As the enlightenment of many players to ARPG, POE still shows its unique style more than ten years after its release.

For example, POE’s previous league Settlers Of Kalguur has received a lot of praise from players, not only because of the interesting game content and mechanism but also because of the addition of a town called Kingsmarch, which allows players to experience the fun of small business games in a large game.

Therefore, those loyal fans of Path of Exile have also expressed their great expectations for the next league content of the original game in social software and many player communities. But unfortunately, there is not much information about POE 3.26 at this stage. This guide will make some predictions based on some of the previously leaked information. It is for reference only, and everything is subject to the eventual release.

Release Time

Affected by the release of POE 2 early access at the end of last year, Path of Exile 3.26 is expected to be released around the 4th or 5th week of January, but there is a high possibility that it will be postponed to February. There are no definite answers to these questions now. What players in the original game can do is to try to farm more POE currency in the current league to facilitate the exploration of the next league.

But from the perspective of this guide, the new league is more likely to be released in mid-February. Because on January 21, the strongest rival of this game, Diablo 4, will release its seventh season, and will bring a lot of new game content, such as Witchcraft Powers and the addition of some new mechanisms. I think the developers should be more willing to place the release time of POE 3.26 a little later, in order to avoid the risk of grabbing the player group.

In addition, it will take some time for some passers-by to explore the new sequel, especially after the latest Patch 0.1.0e was released on December 19, 2024. At present, these players are still enthusiastic about POE 2 and are happy to explore new builds and combat strategies in it. So the developers should give players enough time to enjoy the new game, and then launch new leagues of the original game, so that players will always experience new game content and continue to get fresh game experience!

For players who are only interested in this original game, the suggestion here is that you can carefully explore the game content in the Settlers Of Kalguur Event released in November 2024 while waiting for the new league, and carefully study all the patches released by this content.

Because according to previous traditions, a small part of the game content in POE 3.26 will be closely related to the patches during this period. If possible, store as many POE Divine Orbs as possible in this new event, so that you can modify and upgrade some items with poor affixes as early as possible in the new league game process.

Speculation Of Game Content

First of all, from some trailers, we can know that Path of Exile 3.26 will pay great attention to the smoothness of the picture and the sense of attack in the battle, such as the special effects and animations of some weapons. This is actually very similar to what POE 2 pays attention to at this stage, because the developers have always adhered to the fact that only when the pictures seen by players are exquisite enough can they feel the fun of this game immersively and immersively.

In addition, the armor of all classes has been greatly enhanced in the sequel. This actually indirectly shows that the developers listened to the players’ requests for character survivability and implemented it, so we can also look forward to whether such changes will appear in the new leagues of POE.

In this case, you will spend less POE Currency on defensive abilities in your character construction, and you will invest more currency in damage abilities, so that you have a character with strong clearing and damage abilities, which will help you explore all leagues more easily and provide a new build idea.

Not only that, the developers of POE have said in some social media and interviews that there will be more challenges waiting for players to explore in the unannounced new league, and they will be classified and adjusted according to the different exploration levels of players. I believe this may be the main reason for many old exiles to return to the original game. Challenging new game content in a familiar combat environment will give you a more fulfilling sense of achievement.

Although it is not known whether Kingsmarch town, which was loved by many in POE 3.25, will continue to exist in the next league, it is now very clear that the gateway to this town has undergone major changes, so we can have great expectations for it in the new league. Likewise, we are also looking forward to POE Currency playing more interesting roles in this town.

The above is some of the information we have gathered so far about Path of Exile 3.26. We are looking forward to the new game content and gaming experience that this new league will bring to us, just like you. We hope you can have another enjoyable gaming journey in the original game or the sequel!
