Last Epoch's developers, Eleventh Hour Games, have shared with the community an early look at the Roadmap for their next few major content updates. Much like other Action RPGs with continuous updates, additions will come in the form of "Cycles" (their version of Seasons, or Leagues), giving players a chunk of new stuff to work toward for stretches of time lasting a few months. Based on the Roadmap, we can look forward to some cool features, such as:

  • 1.1 - An Evade mechanic, plus a "Pinnacle Boss" (a superboss for endgame players looking for the ultimate challenge).
  • 1.2 - A new story chapter set in the Ancient Era, with "Primordial Uniques" (the next tier of item rarity?).
  • 1.3 - An expansion of the Monolith of Fate endgame, along with procedural side areas.
  • 1.4 - Transmogrification (changing the look of your items), dyes, and new Skill Sigils.

All of this will come with the usual fare, as well, of balance changes, improvements based on community feedback, bugfixes, plus even more that EHG is holding back! You can read the full quote below:

Quote From Eleventh Hour Games

Hello, Travelers,

We are thrilled to give you an early look at what's coming for Last Epoch over the next few cycles!



As always, the team here at Eleventh Hour Games is dedicated to making the ARPG of our dreams, and we all know that’s a process that takes time, determination, and commitment. As of this writing, we have brought on excellent new people, continue looking for more, and are developing new and exciting content faster than ever. Our roadmap continues to showcase that we have long-term plans for Last Epoch and its content, and we are excited to showcase it here today.

Here’s the thing about roadmaps, though: we are striving to be one of the best and most community-centered game studios in the industry, and oftentimes the best-laid plans of Groles and Gods need to change. While this could be for a variety of reasons; the primary one is you, the community. As each new cycle is released, we plan to collaborate with the community to let you know what’s being worked on, listen to your feedback and suggestions for those plans, and continuously monitor how we can improve.

Each of the items listed on the roadmap are just a few examples of key features we plan to introduce for that cycle and do not represent the only things being worked on. Rest assured; the team is working harder and developing faster than before while also expanding with many new team members to bring you the game you deserve and produce a whole host of other features we have planned beyond those listed on the roadmap!

As we move toward each new patch, we also plan to update our roadmap to keep you informed of our plans and any changes that may have been made based on feedback we hear from the community!

We plan to update the roadmap just after Update 1.2 and again after Update 1.4.

Pinnacle Content - Realm Release Timing Poll


Lastly, development for 1.1 is coming along nicely, and we’re excited to show you all of the great content, balances, bug fixes, and end-game pinnacle boss content coming along with it. Over the last few months, the community has started discussing Cycles and how content is made available to both Legacy and new Cycle characters. Our current plan for the 1.X series of patches is to bring all content to Offline, Cycle, and Legacy realms; but we also believe in allowing Cycle characters a small bit of time to attempt new pinnacle content before extremely well-geared and optimized Offline and Legacy characters have a chance to showcase just how fast they can conquer it.

For a refresher, existing Cycle characters will be moved to Legacy at the beginning of a new Cycle. Creating new Cycle characters will give everyone an even playing field with an economy reset and the need to re-roll a new separate character. Cycle is also where people may compete on that Cycle’s leaderboards.

With that said, we would love to hear from you about our currently proposed plans. Please take just a few minutes (it is 4 questions) and help us continue to grow with our community.
