Last Epoch 2024 content roadmap: Version 1.0 release date, item factions, and more

Last Epoch is Eleventh Hour Games's upcoming action RPG, which is currently available for gamers to experience as an early access title. In a recent forum post, the title's Game Director, Judd Cobler, announced an initial roadmap outlining the update previews leading up to the official launch in the first quarter of 2024. An in-depth look into these major updates will be provided ahead of time, with their implementation in the game accompanying the official launch.

Judd Cobler also discussed the title's delayed release in this forum post, attributing it to the crowded releases in December from other studios. This delay aimed to offer players an opportunity to fully enjoy the title without having to choose favorites.

This article will list everything confirmed for Last Epoch in 2024 and its release date, as outlined in its official roadmap.

Last Epoch 1.0 release date, platforms, and pricing details

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Last Epoch was released as an Early Access title on May 1, 2019. Since its launch, the title received significant updates and quality-of-life features with the help of valuable community feedback.

Today, even in its early access phase, it's praised for its gameplay depth and unique features that allow it to stand alongside renowned titles in the action RPG genre, such as Path of Exile and Diablo 4.

The highly anticipated 1.0 version of Last Epoch is set to launch on February 21, 2024, and is available for purchase via Steam for $34.99. Previously, the developers had clarified that development for the console versions hasn't started yet, and any plans to do so will be evaluated after the launch of this 1.0 version. Priority will be given to Xbox and PlayStation versions.
