Last Epoch is an early access hack and slash action role-playing game developed by Eleventh Hour Games (EHG).

In April 2018, a free playable demo was released as part of Last Epoch's Kickstarter drive.[1]

In April 2019, the game's beta was made available via Steam Early Access.[2]

In December 2019, the title's full release, originally planned for April 2020, was rescheduled to the fourth quarter of 2020.[3]

In October 2020, the developers announced the cancellation of the Mac client for the game. In their announcement, they cited anticipated difficulties arising from Apple's transition to computers powered by ARM-based processors.[4]

In December 2020, EHG announced that Last Epoch's release was delayed until 2021.[5] In March 2023, a multiplayer beta was launched.[6] In October 2023, it was announced that the full game would launch on February 21, 2024.[7]

Setting

The game is set in the world of Eterra across several timelines.[8]

Reception

Last Epoch's 2018 Kickstarter campaign managed to successfully reach its goal, ultimately raising over $250,000.[9]
