Path of Exile 3.21 Release Date Speculation
Path of Exile 3.20 expansion update, Forbidden Sanctum, was released on 9th December 2022 on PC, and 14th of December on consoles.
Update: Path of Exile 3.21 Crucible will release on 7 April 2023 for PC, with a likely console release on 12 April 2023.
PoE 3.21 Update Content
The Path of Exile 3.20 update introduced the Forbidden Sanctum expansion, filled with content and goodies for inhabitants of Wraeclast to enjoy.
At the time of writing, developer Grinding Gear Games have not revealed the exact content we can expect from the Path of Exile 3.21 update. However, we expect new leagues, new skill gems (likely five), new unique items, balance changes, new supporter packs, and much more.
There should also be continued endgame improvements leading up to the release of Path of Exile 2. Further, the developer has previously mentioned possible changes to magic find and culling, with discussions ongoing on how to change this aspect, so it doesn't feel as mandatory as it currently is.
As is tradition, Grinding Gear Games should have a 30-minute livestream a couple of weeks before the new update and PoE 3.21 update releases to share information on the upcoming content via their official YouTube channel.
