This is the release schedule for Path of Exile for the remainder of the year.

Sep 4 - Path of Exile 2 patch 0.5.5 - this is a rerun of patch 0.5 with no changes, but there is a league economy reset. There are cosmetic rewards for completing achievements in the new league.

Late October - Path of Exile 1 patch 3.30. Path of Exile 1 is continuing to be developed as a separate game from POE2. The devs has confirmed multiple times that patch 3.30 will come out in 2026 and that it will be a large update to POE1. The most logical date for this release would be October 16, 23, or 30. These dates seem logical because it gives a 6-week padding to POE2 releases.

November 7 & 8 - ExileCon 2026. This is a real life convention being held in New Zealand, the location of the developer. This not an annual convention. I think it is the third ever. The other ExileCons were held in 2019 and 2023. This signifies some kind of large announcement.

December 11 - Path of Exile 2 patch 1.0. This will be the end of the POE2 beta. The trailer said that they're adding the Duelist (strength/dexterity hybrid class) and sword to the game. They still haven't added the missing Templar, Shadow, or Marauder class. Maybe these will be mentioned at ExileCon.
