'Last Epoch' Comes to Steam Early Access Later This Month - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 12, 2019 @ 5:08 a.m. PDT

Last Epoch is an online action RPG that combines time travel, deep character customization, crafting, and an engrossing loot system that guarantees endless replayability.

Lost to the Void long ago, your world had ceded to its destruction. But now, you have found a way to save your world from this dark fate. Become the Traveler and journey through the different climatic moments in Eterra’s history. Fight the oppression of the Immortal Empire, stand your ground against the gods and their war, be witness to the untouched beauty of the world ignorant of humanity – and most importantly, discover the secret of the Void and the true nature of fate.

You start your adventure by choosing one of five classes: Knight, Mage, Rogue, Primalist, or Acolyte, and soon evolve into one of ten mastery classes: Beastmaster, Bladedancer, Void Knight, Paladin, Sorcerer, Spellblade, Marksman, Druid, Necromancer and Warlock. Hacking and slashing your way through different eras, it is up to you to save Eterra from The Void. And of course, collect as much loot as possible.

The Last Epoch skill specialization trees offer the customization essential to ARPGs, while separating decisions to avoid overloading the player with too many choices at once. Last Epoch is designed fundamentally to be easy to learn, but hard to master.


Eleventh Hour Games announced that Last Epoch will launch on Steam Early Access starting April 30, 2019.

What’s New in Beta?

  • A first look at an end game system, the Monolith of Fate
  • 2.5 more chapters of story content (5 chapters total now!)
  • 2 new Mastery Classes, the Paladin & Druid
  • 12 new skills
  • 6 new skill trees

The Monolith of Fate will be Last Epoch’s first major endgame system. Explore alternate timelines that contain new and deadly encounters, where your choices shape the course of your journey!

Players will run a sequence of zones with randomized enemies and objectives. At the end of each area you will be offered two options, each one adding new modifiers to the next several zones. These alternate timelines can be dangerous and unpredictable – untold treasures await those who dare to explore its depths!

The two new Mastery Classes provide a compelling reason for players to start a new adventure within Last Epoch as each character. Bringing new lore and unique combat styles, the Paladin and the Druid are rousing additions to the existing suite of classes.

  • Paladin: Take up the holy warrior’s mantle and charge shield first into combat to cast judgment on your foes! Surround yourself with Sigils of Hope to ward off the wicked. Fortify yourself and your allies with the power of your Holy Aura as you smite your enemies with Sky Bolts!
  • Druid: Your connection to Eterra now flourishes and grows wild! Command the might of the forest by taking on the form of the Spriggan or transform into a fearsome Werebear and maul your foes with primal strength. You are the avatar of Eterra’s latent power and a bastion against all that would threaten her!

Offering Windows, Linux, and macOS game clients which will support both online-only and offline-only characters, players can explore the world of Eterra wherever they are.

Key Features

  • Engrossing character customization through a unique skill and passive system
  • Randomized loot including unique, set, and legendary items
  • Emphasis on a world and story that can be completely explored in four eras of time
  • Endless replayability through multiple end-game systems
  • 5 classes that can each master into 2 unique subclasses
  • Team up with up to four other players to take on swarms of enemies and fierce bosses, connect with them to trade epic loot, or challenge them in glorious combat! Go offline and travel the various times of Eterra alone with only your strength to rely on. Either way, Last Epoch is doing online play right with server-side hosting designed to dissuade cheating and exploits, tentative plans for LAN multi-player options, and a variety of community-focused features such as lobbies, guilds, trading, seasons, ladders, and chat channels.
