It’s almost time, Exiles — Path of Exile 3.27 is just around the corner! With the Mercenary League now officially wrapped up, all eyes are on the next big chapter: Keepers of the Flame.
And let’s be real — this update is shaping up to be a major one. The biggest change? Async auto-trade is finally coming to the game on October 31 (PDT). Yep, that’s the same system that’ll appear in Path of Exile 2, so if you’ve been keeping up with those updates, you already know how smooth that’ll make trading.
But for now, let’s get to the big question everyone’s asking…

Path of Exile 3.27: Keepers of the Flame goes live at 12:00 pm PDT (7:00 pm UTC) on October 31, 2025.
If you’re outside the U.S., that means the release will actually hit November 1 for a lot of regions — especially across Asia and Oceania. Here’s a quick breakdown so you know exactly when to dive in:

So yeah, get your stash tabs cleaned out — launch day’s almost here!
What’s New in Path of Exile 3.27: Keepers of the Flame
Let’s talk features, because this League isn’t just a minor patch — it’s packed with new mechanics and systems.
Aside from the long-awaited asynchronous trade (seriously, this one’s a game-changer for the PoE economy), Keepers of the Flame is putting the spotlight back on the Breach mechanic.
Here’s what’s cooking:
- Breach Revamp: New shrine-like defense objectives can now appear inside Breaches. A new League NPC will spawn to help destroy them while you fend off wave after wave of monsters.
- New Boss Encounter: The Breach portal itself now leads to a full-on boss fight — no more skipping out early.
- Hive City Zone: Explore a brand-new area that expands the Breach universe even further.
And that’s just the start. You’ll also get:
- Grafting Mechanic: A new crafting system that lets you modify items in creative (and potentially broken) ways.
- Genesis Skill Trees: Fresh options to customize your build with new offensive and defensive perks.
- Bloodline Ascendancy Trees: These add even more depth to build theorycrafting, giving your characters unique new paths to explore.
Path of Exile 3.27 is going to be huge. Between the async trading system and all the new League content, there’s never been a better time to jump in (or come back if you’ve been on a break).
So mark your calendar for October 31 — it’s almost time to light the flame.
