In this news post we'd like to give you a small update regarding the timeline for our next expansion for Path of Exile.

We're currently planning to launch the 3.24 expansion in late March. This means that the ongoing Affliction challenge league will last longer than usual, so if you were planning on completing the Affliction challenges, you have plenty of time to do so. It's also worth mentioning that this time we're not planning to run end-of-league events.

The next expansion's release date as well as new information about Path of Exile 2 will be revealed during the update livestream around the middle of March. Stay tuned!
