As the end of 2022 approaches, we wanted to take a moment to let you know what to expect in the coming months and over the end-of-year holiday period.

3.20 Expansion Timeline

We've been looking at our upcoming schedule for the next year and have decided to move our 3.20 expansion launch date back from late November to early December.

This date works a lot better for alignment with the holiday period. Previous December launches have shown that launches roughly two weeks before Christmas allows players the most free time to play the league during the holiday season. In addition, this date is well clear of any holiday time that our developers are taking.

We have a busy schedule of releases leading up to Path of Exile 2, so we'll be using this extra time to get a headstart on 3.21.

End-of-League Events

Because the 3.20 expansion delay extends the Kalandra League by a few weeks, we're planning to host a series of short eve... Read more

Last week, we asked if the community had any questions for our Audio Team! Since there were so many great questions, we've split their answers into two parts. Today's questions are all answered by Kane, our Audio Lead. Check out part one in today's news post!


How big is the sound team?
We have 5 sound designers and 2 composers.


Any stories of memorable unused SFX that you have hanging around because the original content it was going toward got shelved?
This happens occasionally. Something might change quite late in the process, perhaps a skill is redesigned for a monster or a monster is moved to a different place. In any case, we always keep things, as you just never know where it can be used.


Do you keep a 'back catalog' for in house sounds / music that hasn't been used? What's that like?
When we have a bit of downtime between leagues or projects (which hasn’t happened for quite some time!) then we like to dig ... Read more

Grinding Gear Games has been growing and we've expanded into more of our office building. We're finally settled into our new space and wanted to share some photos with you. The new office space is on the top floor of the building and is home to our Audio team, UI team, and all of our Live Operations (System Administrators, Web Developers, Producers, QA and Community Team).

We are still occupying the same office space a floor down and a floor below that, so we're slowly taking over the majority of the building we're in. If you're interested in taking a peek into a part of our studio, check out the photos below! (Note that these photos were taken first thing in the morning before many people had arrived for the day)

The right side of the floor is occupied by the QA team - Good morning!

Here's another view of QA's space. T... Read more

Want to know more about what goes into the music and sound effects of Path of Exile or how they're made? Our sound designers are keen to answer your questions, so we'll collect them from today's news post and present the answers sometime in the next few weeks!

The intention of this Q&A is to give you an insight of the inner workings of the Audio Team, so if you have any specific questions like "How did you make the Gratuitous Violence blood pops sound so satisfying?", then now's your chance! We may not be able to go through every question with them, but we'll try to get as many of your questions answered as possible!

We look forward to your questions!
