# Version 0.5.0 ##### Date Prediction The release of Version 1.0 on December 12th (NZT) is considered a done deal. If Version 0.5 is updated in early May, forcing the launch of a new league (Version 0.6) within seven months would have a significant impact on the development of Version 1.0 and is unnecessary; without a new league, there would be a prolonged hiatus. The 0.5 update in early May will face strong competition from the Diablo 4 DLC. It's highly likely that version 0.5.0 will be delayed by two months, meaning it will start in late May or early June, lasting six months, and 1.0 will be released as scheduled on December 12th (NZT), 2026. ##### Towards the end of April we will be announcing our full plans for the 0.5.0 update https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3912492/ ##### In late April we will be showing our new major expansion to the Endgame. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1bJcezhE5R/ ##### New ascendancies added to the game files in the latest update.
