path of exile harvest keyart bannerGrinding Gear Games is literally counting down the days until the official launch day of the The Path of Exile: Harvest summer expansion. In fact, they have an actual countdown timer running on the official site. It’s not the kind of harvest you’re probably be thinking about though.

“In Path of Exile: Harvest, Oshabi is cultivating the Sacred Grove, an ancient garden of mysterious power. Plant seeds that grow into dangerous enemies and craft their Lifeforce onto your items. Our June expansion contains the Harvest challenge league, powerful new crafting options, eight new skills, two new support gems, revamps of Two-handed Weapons, Warcry skills, Brands, Slams and the Passive Skill Tree itself. We've also introduced 12 new unique items and rebalanced over 50 existing ones.”

The expansion will introduce the new Seed Cache mechanic. Seed Caches will appear in various areas across the game world. Players can seek out these caches and plant them in the Sacred Grove where, with proper care, they’ll grow into powerful monsters that they can eventually “harvest” to get stat-adding crafting items.

Harvest officially launches on June 19th which is in 16 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes, and 45 seconds as of this writing. Learn more about the upcoming expansion in the official trailer below. You can also head over to the Path of Exile official site for more details.
