'Last Epoch' Available On Steam Early Access

by Rainier on May 2, 2019 @ 1:26 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 is now available on Steam Early Access for $34.99.

Looking back to the initial demo in April 2018, the game has undergone an impressive transformation over one year of development – thanks to consistent, positive player feedback.

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

With the launch of Beta, also comes the release of all new supporter packs. Featured packs include:

  • Ardent Champion – Best way to access the Beta! 600 cosmetic points, soundtrack, and two cosmetic pets
  • Ardent Lord – The best swag! 2,400 cosmetic points, five cosmetic pets, Beta exclusive Last Epoch t-shirt and playmat
  • Ardent Creator – Leave your mark in the game! Design a Unique Custom Item with the EHG team and earn a special role in Last Epoch Community Discord.

Players who already own the game can link their Last Epoch accounts to Steam and redeem their key via an easy account sync process detailed here.

To celebrate the release, Eleventh Hour Games will host a Last Epoch race event on May 9th – the ultimate prize is a supporter pack so lace up your boots, perfect your build, and get ready to defeat your foes!

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.
