After asking about all the work that went into putting on a live convention, we had asked Wilson if the team had considered putting on a second ExileCon. There was no further information given on the current state of Path of Exile 2 or Path of Exile Mobile's development, as the Grinding Gear Games team will wait until the big convention to offer an update.Ĭoincidentally, ExileCon was a big topic of conversation when Shacknews spoke with Grinding Gear Games CEO Chris Wilson during Shacknews E6 2022. The issued press release from Grinding Gear Games confirms that playable builds for both Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile Mobile will be on the show floor. ExileCon 2023 will take place on July 29-30, 2023 from Auckland, New Zealand.

The news came prior to Thursday's Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra reveal. The Path of Exile team unveiled Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile Mobile, among other things, at ExileCon 2019. Live events are just now starting to return to a state of normalcy, just in time for GGG to announce that ExileCon will also make a comeback with a playable build of Path of Exile 2 in tow. It also came just in time, because COVID-19 devastated live events for years afterwards. ExileCon was dedicated to all things Path of Exile and it's an event that the fanbase came to love. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Grinding Gear Games took on the Herculean task of putting on its own convention.
