The developers of Path of Exile wanted to bring a new season to one of their games every 2 months. Now the head explains whether there will be new content in 2025.
What kind of promise is that? With the release of Path of Exile 2, many fans have high hopes for alternating releases of the seasons in the game. They wanted the competitors Diablo 4 and Last Epoch to dive into a perfect rotation along with Path of Exile and its successor, releasing a new season at regular intervals.
The players’ wish would mean that they would have a new season to play every month, providing new content. While Diablo and Last Epoch have not yet responded to the fans’ plans, Path of Exile is already taking the lead. For some time now, new seasons have been starting alternately every two months.
Thus, the new season of Path of Exile “Keepers of the Flame” starts on October 31. Consequently, the new season of the successor should start in December. During a press preview for the new season, MeinMMO and other journalists inquired whether that will still be possible.

A new season still in 2025
What about the next season? In a conversation with the game director of Path of Exile, Mark Roberts, he explained the status of the next season in Path of Exile 2. It is actually supposed to start in December, and with the Christmas holidays, there would be even less time for the developers to prepare the patch.
Game director Mark Roberts, however, believes in the timeline. As he reveals in the conversation, they are currently on a good path to release patch 0.4 for Path of Exile 2 and thus also the next season in 2025. Even though he does not want to make any promises, the developers’ target remains to release a new season of Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2 alternately every two months.
What could the contents be? With patch 0.4 for Path of Exile 2, there will likely be one or more new classes again. The developers have already hinted at this on another occasion. The current season of Path of Exile 2 did not receive a new class because all classes in the game have been completely overhauled.
Accordingly, the ARPG lags behind in terms of releasing new classes, especially if they want to fully release the title in the first half of 2026. Path of Exile 2 will celebrate its one-year anniversary in December, and fittingly for the birthday, a new patch could sweeten the Christmas season for many players.
That the developers of Path of Exile want to keep their promise is a good sign for the players. They can therefore look forward to a new season, hopefully in time for Christmas. But next, Path of Exile (1) is up. You can learn more about the innovations here: Path of Exile announces new season, finally brings the new trading system
