The release time for Path of Exile 3.27 is very close now, with the curtains on the Mercenary League already closed. There's a lot of big changes shaping up PoE with Keepers of The Flame, and the biggest one isn't going to be limited to this League either. On October 31 (PDT), async auto-trade is also coming to the game. This is going to be a near-identical implementation of auto-trading as Path of Exile 2, so check out the overview on that if you want some idea.Meanwhile, for those awaiting PoE 3.27's League start, here's how long you'll have to wait.When does PoE 3.27 League go live?PoE 3.27 League goes live at noon PDT (Image via GGG)As now officially confirmed, the release time for Path of Exile 2 3.27 League is 12:00am noon PDT (7:00 pm UTC) on October 31.This means the release date will technically be November 1 in many regions, including most of Asia and Oceania.

Long story short, new shrine-like defense objectives can now spawn inside Breaches, which a new League NPC will spawn to gradually destroy as you fend off the hordes. Furthermore, the Breach portal now has a boss-encounter, and a full-fledged new Hive City area. Other than this, there's also the new Grafting mechanic and Gensis skill trees to give you various new offensive/defensive tools, which will be the flavor of this League's builds. If that wasn't enough already, we also have Bloodline Ascendancy trees to further provide unique build opportunities.
