As the holiday season nears, gamers are looking forward to a lot of gaming announcements coming in the next week or so. Nintendo may be having some big reveals in September, Final Fantasy 14 will be premiering The Rising event, and Path of Exile just announced some exciting news for next week.

Developer Grinding Gear Games has had several updates already this year, including the Harvest Garden update and the massive rebalancing of 50 items in Path of Exile. And, lucky for fans, the next league is on the horizon, and the announcement is coming sooner than some may realize.

Grinding Gear Games has announced the announcement of the third expansion of 2020. On September 1st, Path of Exile players will get their first look into the next season of content and learn more about this expansion's league mechanic. The unnamed expansion has an estimated release date of September 18th, but it will only be made official during the September 1st reveal at 2pm PT. There was no mention of Path of Exile 2 announcements, but fans of the series are still hoping for some more information on that massive update.

Grinding Gear also plans to release new supporter packs along with the new 3.12 update, but also decided to keep the Harvest update supporter pack around too, so players can choose which pack to purchase if they wish. If players are looking to grow and defeat The Heart of the Grove, they'll need to get to it soon, before the new expansion drops.

Path of Exile is available for Mac, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
