Last Epoch

Last Epoch is officially out of early access, and Eleventh Hour Games is supporting the game’s first cycle with regular updates and bug fixes.  As far as updates go, patch 1.0.2 isn’t particularly expansive. It primarily addresses some small bugs that have cropped up in various aspects of the game from quest interactions to UI details. It does make adjustments to two skills – the Warlock’s Ghost Flame and the Falconer’s Dive Bomb – but only because the abilities were causing performance issues in the game. Any serious…

Last Epoch left early access on February 21, resulting in a sudden influx of players checking out the full release. How many players? On the day Last Epoch officially launched, SteamDB recorded a peak of over 152,000 concurrent players. One day later, the figure has grown to more than 176,000 players, and it’s not even a weekend. With so many gamers clamoring to play online, the Diablo-like’s servers have been stretched to their limits. I tried to play co-op with a friend on launch day, and while we were able to play…

The long-anticipated 1.0 release of Last Epoch is coming in very short order, on February 21, and one of the update’s most important additions are the Warlock and Rogue Falconer class masteries. In a pre-launch blog, the developer explained what makes these build options such a big deal. On Steam, developer Eleventh Hour Games detailed the upcoming Warlock and Falconer, adding to Last Epoch’s whopping 13 unique class masteries. These are, more specifically, not character classes as such, but sub-masteries belonging to…

When it comes to live service games such as Last Epoch, there are times when gameplay needs to be organized around maintenance and server downtime. With the game releasing fully on February 21, of course, there’s going to be maintenance, so here’s everything you need to know.  During the Twitch stream Q&A on February 16, Last Epoch developers urged people to spread the word about the upcoming 24-hour server maintenance period, so here I am to do just that.  If you’re wondering what you’re going to do while the game…

It’s always nice to have a way of discussing a game with its developers, and Last Epoch has provided a plethora of ways for fans to do just that. From Twitch Q&As to a thriving Discord, Eleventh Hour is always happy to talk to players, accept feedback and answer questions.  Now they’ve announced they’ll take it one step further with the team hosting a Reddit Ask Me Anything on February 20th at 11 am CST (so that’s 9 am PST / 12 pm EST / 5 pm GMT) on the r/Games Subreddit.  If you’ve got any questions about the…

Last Epoch exits its beta on February 21 and as such, there’s a lot of news and reveals happening in the run up. Part of the run up is a collaboration with actor David Harbour, who worked with developer Eleventh Hour to create an in-game item for Last Epoch. David Harbour is pretty much a household name, at this point. If you’re unsure who I’m talking about, you’ll undoubtedly know him as Jim Hopper from Stranger Things, but he has had starring roles in everything from blockbuster movies like Hellboy to Theatre…
