The end date of PoE Crucible league is August 15, 2023. GGG has seen a lot of people asking when PoE 3.22 expansion will launch. It's currently looking like it will launch on August 18th (PDT). This isn't fully locked in yet. However, GGG will confirm its launch date at ExileCon in just a few weeks.
GGG has also noted that quite a few people have asked whether or not PoE will be hosting end-of league-events before Crucible ends. GGG is currently all-hands-on-deck working on ExileCon, Path of Exile 2 and the 3.22 expansion so GGG isn't able to host any events this time around.

In this league, a Crucible Forge can be found in zones. With it, you can select one of your equipped non-Unique weapon or shield (including ones in your weapon swap slots) or the left and top-most equipment, then you can begin channeling power into the Forge. The longer you hold your channel, the more enemies it spawns. After killing all the monsters spawned by the Crucible Forge, it grants experience towards the equipment’s Crucible Passive Skill Tree.
The Crucible Passive Skill Tree is unlocked for equipment used on the forge and contain a small branch of passive skills that enhance your weapon. Leveling up your weapon allows you to allocate a connected passive skill of the next depth. You can only allocate one passive from each tier.
Crucible encounters may sometimes drop a currency that can be opened to reveal a Primeval Remnant that opens portals to the Forge of the Titans. Completing it will allow you to use the Forge to sacrifice one item of the same item type to combine its Crucible Passive Tree with another, with some unpredictable changes, including adding exclusive mods not found normally. Higher levels Remnants can allow you to add a Crucible Passive Tree to Unique items or sacrifice a duplicate Unique item to combine both of their Crucible Passive Trees.
