Fans of action role-playing games will have to contend with some bittersweet news about the upcoming game, Last Epoch. Developer Eleventh Hour Games - chuckles - has revealed that the release date for Last Epoch is being pushed back to early next year, and there's a good reason why.
Last Epoch was scheduled to release this December, but now it has received a new release date of February 21 next year. This announcement came via a post on the game's official forum penned by Game Director Judd Cobler, who revealed that the decision behind this was prompted by the crowded December schedule.
Since its Early Access phase on Steam, Last Epoch has captivated players with its intricate class system and extensive skill trees, rivalling Path of Exile. With five main classes that branch out into an incredible 15 mastery classes, the hack and slash RPG has shown a lot of promise so far.
Twelve of these mastery classes are already up and running, giving players a taste of the depth and variety they can expect in the final version. There are also over 120 skills, each with its own unique skill tree, which allows players to tailor their gameplay to their preferences.
Eleventh Hour Games will not just stop at the 1.0 release. According to Cobler, the team has grand plans for regular content updates, dubbed "Cycles," (they couldn't have called them epochs, clearly) which are set to roll out every few months. These updates will include a fresh wave of content, enhancements, and quality-of-life improvements.
