Grinding Gear Games confirmed ExileCon 2026 is one month away, set for November 7 and 8 New Zealand Time at the Aotea Centre in Auckland, New Zealand, the home of Grinding Gear Games. The studio posted the one-month update on Steam on October 6, 2026. This year’s ExileCon marks the 20th anniversary of Grinding Gear Games. The event will reveal the studio’s latest announcements. It will host developer talks and feature race finales for both Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2. The entire event will be livestreamed for free on Twitch and YouTube across both days.
Livestream Schedule and Keynote
The livestream begins at 12PM on November 6 and 7 PST on twitch.tv/pathofexile. The keynote begins at 1PM PST. The stream includes the keynote with big announcements, live podcasts featuring Path of Exile content creators, and developer panels. Co-streaming of the event is welcome.
