Path of Exile 2's 1.0 "Full Reveal" Is Locked for Nov 6. Here's When to Watch ExileCon 2026

Analysis by Stephen Pierce · Published , 1:26 PM ET

Oct 30, 2026: Grinding Gear Games has put out a new teaser and set the date. In a Steam post on Oct 29, 2026 titled "Path of Exile 2 1.0 Full Reveal - Watch ExileCon 2026 on November 6 PST," the studio says it will announce its "newest content for Path of Exile 2 as we continue the road to Full Release, live at ExileCon 2026." The post opens with one line: "Everything has a price… even fate."

The same day, GGG published the full ExileCon 2026 schedule and attendee guide. Here's what you need to plan around it.

When and where to watch

According to GGG's official posts:

  • Broadcast starts: Nov 6, 12:30 PM PST, with a pre-show featuring community streamers ZiggyD, Mathil, RaizQT and DarthMicrotransaction.
  • Keynote starts: Nov 6, 1:00 PM PST. (That's 4:00 PM ET. US daylight saving time ends Nov 1, so both coasts are on standard time by then.)
  • Length: "around 2 hours," covering both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2.
  • Where: GGG's official Twitch channel (twitch.tv/pathofexile) and YouTube (youtube.com/@playpathofexile).
  • Missed it? GGG says the keynote will be on its Twitch and YouTube channels "shortly after it airs live." Developer talks and panels will be posted later.
  • Twitch Drops: yes. GGG said in its Oct 25 post that it would announce the rewards "next week."

In New Zealand, where the event is held, the keynote is Saturday, Nov 7 at 10 AM NZT, with a 9:30 AM pre-show.

What GGG has (and hasn't) said about the reveal

The Oct 29 teaser is short on purpose. It promises "our newest content for Path of Exile 2" and a "1.0 Full Reveal," and nothing more specific. GGG also says that, as with its usual livestreams, "all relevant trailers and announcement pages will be available as soon as the content is announced during the keynote."

What's already locked in from earlier official posts:

  • Full release: Dec 11, 2026 (PST). GGG says that's when Path of Exile 2 "launches as a free-to-play game."
  • Pre-launch registration rewards: people who sign up at pathofexile2.com/register have unlocked two cosmetic effects so far, with more milestones still open. Registration closes Dec 11, and buying Early Access does not automatically count as signing up.
  • Early Access Supporter Packs are leaving. On Oct 22, GGG said they'll leave the store "in a few weeks," to be "replaced by a set of five new packs."

ExileCon itself: key details for attendees

From GGG's Oct 29 schedule post:

  • Venue: Aotea Centre, Auckland. The event runs Nov 7–8 NZT.
  • Badge pickup (NZT): Fri Nov 6, 2–7 PM; Sat Nov 7, 7 AM–5 PM; Sun Nov 8, 9 AM–5 PM. Bring the QR code from your Path of Exile account page and a matching photo ID.
  • Age rules: ExileCon is a Restricted 16 event, and the after party (Sun Nov 8, 8–11 PM) is Restricted 18.
  • Overseas visitors: GGG says almost all international attendees need an NZeTA before they travel.
  • Ticket changes: email [email protected] by Sunday, Nov 1.
  • Also on the schedule: developer talks, live gameplay showcases, interviews, and the race finales for both games.
