Last Epoch went into early access on April 30th 2019 and it has now reached 1 million copies sold. This is a great milestone since the games been in early access since 2019 and will be fully releasing in just a little over a week on February 21st.
Last Epoch is a Hack and Slash ARPG where you go around and kill monsters, get loot, level up, craft your own gear, with a high level of customization with mastery classes and every skill having it's own augmentation tree. It's kinda like Diablo, and maybe in some ways a better version of the latest instalment of the franchise. Although not as beginner-friendly as Diablo 4, Last Epoch really shines with its crafting systems and huge depth of skill trees. It's not quite as complicated as Path of Exile though, so it's a good middleground for all types of players.
Also, Last Epoch has items you'll actually want to build around and make you rethink how you're playing. Not that anyone is counting.
Last Epoch has recently seen an increase in players, and we're wondering if we can see it overtake its all-time peak player count of 40k from around this time last year. A 1.0 release certainly gives everyone a good reason to go checkout the game again!

I was just talking about this game a couple hours ago - I'm definitely interested. Path of Exile is too much for me and I'm not a fan of its complicated systems, but I also found Diablo IV lacking. A middle-ground could be exactly what I'm looking for!
