Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict Reveal & Launch Date

Grinding Gear Games (GGG) has officially confirmed the next big step for Path of Exile 2. The long-awaited Third Edict will be revealed live during the upcoming GGG Live broadcast, and the actual launch is right around the corner. Here's everything you need to know about the reveal, the rewards, and the release date.

The Third Edict Reveal – GGG Live on August 20th

The reveal event will take place on August 20th, 2025 at 1PM PDT (that's August 21, 4:00 AM GMT+8 for many international players). You can catch it on the official Twitch channel at twitch.tv/pathofexile.

During this broadcast, the GGG team will dive into details of Patch 0.3.0, covering new content, systems, and gameplay updates for Path of Exile 2. And it won't just be a showcase—viewers can also stick around for a live developer Q&A session with Jonathan and Mark, hosted by ZiggyD, followed by the release of the official patch notes.

This reveal is happening earlier in the week than usual, so fans are being reminded not to miss the stream.

If you’re planning to jump into The Third Edict right at launch, make sure you’re prepared ahead of time—stock up on currency, refine your builds, and don’t forget you can also buy PoE 2 items to give yourself a head start when the new content drops.

Twitch Drops – Sun Priest's Incineration Rare Finisher Effect

To celebrate the reveal, GGG is enabling Twitch Drops across all Path of Exile 2 streams.

• Reward: Sun Priest's Incineration Rare Finisher Effect
• How to get it: Watch any PoE 2 stream with drops enabled for 45 minutes
• Time window: August 20th, 1PM PDT – August 20th, 10PM PDT (or Aug 21, 4:00 AM – 1:00 PM GMT+8)

The best part? The drop is guaranteed—anyone who watches long enough will get the finisher. Just remember to link your PoE account to Twitch and redeem the item from your Twitch Inventory before the promotion ends.

The Third Edict Launch Date

The wait won't be long after the reveal. GGG has confirmed that Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict launches on August 29th, 2025 at 1PM PDT on both PC and consoles.

That means players will only have nine days between the reveal and the actual launch to prepare builds, farming strategies, and community groups.

Why This Matters

The Third Edict is shaping up to be a major milestone for Path of Exile 2. Not only does it deliver the next wave of content, but it also shows GGG's push to keep the hype alive with synchronized PC and console launches, guaranteed Twitch Drops, and interactive community events.

With Path of Exile 2 already positioning itself as one of the most ambitious ARPGs ever made, The Third Edict reveal could bring big surprises—new skills, balance changes, or even entirely new mechanics.

If you're a longtime PoE fan (or even just curious about PoE 2), mark your calendar for:

• August 20th (PDT) → The Third Edict Reveal + Twitch Drops
• August 29th (PDT) → The Third Edict Official Launch

Whether you're there for the loot, the gameplay reveals, or just the Q&A banter, this event is one you don't want to miss.
