Exocon, the highly anticipated event by Grinding Gear Games, is just around the corner, and with the release of the full timetable, fans are getting ready to witness exciting announcements and reveals. Whether you are attending the event in person or tuning in from the comfort of your home, here's a guide on how to make the most of Exocon and what you can expect from this gaming extravaganza.
For Attendees - Important Information:
If you're lucky enough to attend Exocon in person, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First and foremost, you'll need to apply for a New Zealand entry permit. Be sure to read the "Information for Attendees" document released by Grinding Gear Games for detailed instructions and additional event-related information, including the VIP dinner, cosplay weapon policy, registration process, the Xicon after-party, and the Discord server for meetups.
Furthermore, attendees planning to restream any content from the event must adhere to the "Streaming Code of Conduct." The golden rule is simple: respect people's space and boundaries, and if someone isn't interested in being part of your stream, be considerate and move on.
Watching Exocon from Home:
For those unable to attend Exocon in person, fear not! There's plenty to enjoy from the comfort of your home. This year, Twitch drops are a highlight, but they come with specific timings. To claim the Raven Demon Wings, you'll need to watch for 60 minutes during a specific 90-minute window on Twitch. Additionally, if you watch a total of four hours of Exocon streams during the entire weekend, you'll receive the Heartseeker Portal. Make sure to link your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts to be eligible for these rewards.
The Keynote Presentation: The Event's Highlight
The Keynote Presentation is undoubtedly the most significant part of Exocon. Grinding Gear Games will use this platform to make major announcements, reveal new content, and possibly share information on the upcoming Path of Exile 2. It's the event where you'll get a condensed 90 minutes of information overload, so be sure not to miss it.
Other Exciting Sessions and Showcases:
Exocon offers a plethora of sessions, interviews, and gameplay showcases to delve into. Not all of them will be live-streamed, but you can catch recorded content on the official Path of Exile Twitch channel later. Expect sessions on Path of Exile 2 developer panels, character skills, bosses and monsters, item design, wacky mechanics, and more. Don't miss the Narrative Interview with Kitten Cat Noodle, an expert in Path of Exile lore.
Sunday Highlights:
The second day of Exocon will feature the Developer Panel for Path of Exile 2 with a Q&A, a major gameplay showcase with Kripparian, sound and music design discussions, animation interviews, and an action RPG roundtable. The grand finale will be The Big Race, a thrilling invite-only event where top players race to complete Acts one to five as quickly as possible.
Final Thoughts:
Exocon 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting and eventful weekend for Path of Exile fans worldwide. With the detailed timetable now available, you can plan your schedule to ensure you catch the most significant moments, be it through live-streams or recorded content.
