Path of Exile developer Grinding Gear Games have decided to push the release date of their upcoming expansion to avoid Cyberpunk 2077 new launch date.
Path of Exile Expansion Delayed to Avoid Cyberpunk 2077 Launch
In a post on the officialPath of Exile website, developer Grinding Gear Games announce the delay for the end-game expansion, version 3.13. Originally set to launch on December 11th, they are now pushing the release to next year January 2021.
The reason for the change in release date was due to the recent news about Cyberpunk 2077 now launching on December 10th. GGG explained that the decision was so it wouldn’t put " players in a position of having to choose between these two games". This means 3.13 will now be releasing January instead.
Path of Exilewill however still be getting some “interesting” stuff over the course of Christmas/New Year, so players will still have something to look forward to this holiday season. The delay won’t have an impact on development schedule moving forward, as the delay was not due to development timing but giving players more breathing space between game releases.
We were previously targeting a launch date of December 11 for our 3.13 expansion. Yesterday, CD Projekt Red announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will now be released on December 10. We have decided to delay the release of Path of Exile 3.13 until January.https://t.co/Jw7PXnd4Bfpic.twitter.com/sL3npV4eH6
