Last Epoch is Eleventh Hour Games’ first action RPG on Steam. It’s the game that gives passion to the fans of action RPGs by combining character customization, skill progression, replayability, and time traveling. The game is developed by a team passionate about making RPG games and a ton of time was put into it, from early access to its full release. The developer team has recently released word that the game is on the way to having new content to expand its story and endgame further. It is exciting to hear that more major content is coming later in the year.
Last Epoch’s 1.0 Release
Last Epoch released its 1.0 update in February 2024, introducing new mastery classes, skills, factions, story cinematics, and an offline mode for players who don’t want to utilize the online feature. The full patch notes for this update were released on the developer blog detailing what is included.
Along with visual updates, skill reworks, system changes, etc., this patch was set to be the biggest update to release, finally completing the game. Afterward, they released follow-up patches for the 1.0 update to make additional adjustments to fix bugs and improve game balance for 3 months.
Roadmap for the Future
After 3 months of follow-up patches, a roadmap was recently announced that showcases long-term plans for upcoming content coming soon to Last Epoch. The content would be released in cycles 1.1 to 1.4, representing seasons. Much content is arriving soon, especially with 1.1 being close to finished.
Cycle 1.1, the first major update to be released, will start by featuring new enemy and boss encounters for the Monolith of Fate endgame including Harbingers and Pinnacle boss fight, and a new evade mechanic useful for dodging incoming attacks. This will be an interesting update because there will be more enemies to fight while utilizing new advantages in combat.
The other cycles will focus on story expansion and endgame expansion, adding new zones and story chapters to give players more focus on the lore. More zones allow for more quests and more exciting rewards to claim. The roadmap will continue to be updated after cycle 1.2 and cycle 1.4, and there may be more plans to come beyond but there’s still time.

These patches will continue towards the end of the roadmap and may be subject to change along the way. In the meantime, get ready to encounter what Last Epoch will unleash.
