We’d like to start this post with a thank you to everyone in our amazing community and all of the great feedback concerning the changes and new content in 0.8.5. It’s with this great feedback we’ve been able to continue making Last Epoch as great as it is.

In the very near future we will be releasing the remaining Uniques for The Mountain Beneath, as well as Cremorus and a few more adjustments and fixes. However, before these Uniques are available in game, we wanted to provide a bit of a teaser. In the post below, you’ll see item card examples for two of the new items coming, as well as art for other items coming for the 0.8.5d hotfix. Let us know in the comments below what sort of effects you think the remaining Uniques might have!

In addition to speculation, we have some speculation for you - Keep an eye on our socials tomorrow as we’re going to be starting a very exciting event we know a lot of people have been looking forward to (not multiplayer), and we’re excited...

Hello there, and welcome back!

We are aware of both visibility and performance issues with many of our visual effects, but rather than providing more toggles in the options, we would like to fix both visibility and performance for everyone. In this patch cycle, one of our goals is to provide better performance for our visual effects, and once we will hit our performance targets, we will also address the visibility issues.

Stay tuned, we will have more to share pretty soon.

New Wraith Models

Welcome Travelers, to day Five of the Essential, 9 Day, No Brakes, Hype-Train, Phenomenon… *TM! The Depths of Eterra update brings with it a number of new Wraiths to fight and follow you across time.

Check out some examples below of these new terrifying creatures of necromancy both travelling with you, or facing you in your journey as the Elders shudder at the power you’ve brought into the world.

Summoned Wraiths are a common creation of skilled necromancers, as they are a simple coalescence of soul energy with minimal willpower or physicality.

New 3D Art

Welcome Travelers to day five of the Enduring, 9 day, Extended Hype Week, Patch Spectacle*TM!

Check out some examples below!

Music Showcase

Music can play a very important role in helping set the tone of an event, as well as help provide context to what exactly is transpiring. Today we wanted to go over a couple examples of event music found in Last Epoch with some insights from Erik Desiderio of our Music and Sound team, on what goes into the music to help set the stage.

Ulatri Cliffs (Osprix Warcamp)

The player discovers that the Osprix have fortified this area on the Ulatri Cliffs into a large warcamp stocked with war machines and giant eagles. An intense battle ensues as the player and Zerrick fight their way through the camp until they find a giant eagle. Zerrick had been slowly gaining the trust of this eagle since before the player met him. They board the eagle and fly off to the Temple of Majasa after the battle. The music has a lot of trademarks of the Divine Era: the noble quality of the horns, an expressive orchestra combined with the exotic sounds of ...

Development Update

December saw the introduction of the Eternal Legends update. This introduced one of the new endgame Dungeons: Temporal Sanctum, Legendary Items, an overhaul to crafting, and an overhaul to the Druid mastery. We’re happy to say this new endgame system, and the addition of legendary items to provide further solid goals for players has been very well received. This patch resulted in not only continual growth of player numbers over the first month following release but the highest overall retention we’ve seen to date.

Looking forward to patch 0.8.5, we have some exciting news to share with you today. 0.8.5 will bring an exciting batch of content into the game for players in Eterra to explore. From endgame content like two...

A collaboration of exceptionally talented musicians and vocalists has brought a new main theme to Last Epoch in the Eternal Legends Update.

New Character Models

With each patch we add new content and improve what already exists in the game. It’s no secret that player characters are among the oldest assets. The Sands of Majasa Update brought an update to the Primalist model, and the Eternal Legends Update will continue this trend with improvements to Sentinel, Acolyte and Mage.

As we mentioned in Primalist blog, we’ve also changed the topology of the models, which has improved the look of many of the ...

Similar to the Sands of Majasa Update, the Eternal Legends Update will bring a large number of new unique items that will either help players during leveling or help create end-game builds.
