Grinding Gear Games has unveiled the details for ExileCon 2026, the official Path of Exile community celebration and developer convention. This year’s gathering will take place November 7–8, 2026, at the Aotea Centre in Auckland, New Zealand, marking another opportunity for fans to connect, play, and experience exclusive Path of Exile content in person.
Tickets for ExileCon go on sale today, February 10, starting at 12 PM PST. Regular access tickets are priced at $250 USD. Additional VIP packages are also available, with VIP tickets running $750 and Ultra VIP tickets with an exclusive dinner with developers for $2,000. Higher tiers are expected to sell out quickly.
ExileCon is more than just a meet-up. Historically, the event has been a platform for major reveals, developer panels, and community events, and organizers are hinting at a similarly packed schedule this year. Attendees can expect live announcements, opportunities to play exclusive demos of unreleased content, and in-person gatherings with popular streamers and Path of Exile creators. Past conventions have also hosted live race events, and this year attendees can watch Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2 racers compete in finals both days of ExileCon.
In addition to gameplay and panels, ExileCon includes social events like parties and meet-and-greets, giving fans a chance to celebrate the community together. With Grinding Gear Games approaching its 20th anniversary, ExileCon 2026 is expected to double as both a celebration of Path of Exile’s longevity and a showcase of what’s next for the franchise.
For those unable to attend in person, GGG has historically streamed major portions of the event online, including keynotes and certain live races, ensuring the global Path of Exile audience can tune in. Final detailed event schedules will be available via the official ExileCon page as the convention draws closer.
ExileCon 2026 promises to be a cornerstone event for the Path of Exile community, blending developer insights, competitive play, exclusive previews, and fan-centered experiences in one location this November.
