Last Epoch Season 2 sees the RPG's player count soar above Path of Exile 2

It's been a big month for Path of Exile 2, as its Dawn of the Hunt update dropped and saw huge swathes of players switch back over to the early access ARPG. One of its main rivals, Last Epoch, foresaw this and delayed its own Season 2 update to dodge it. It seems that this forward thinking, and the exciting contents of Season 2, have worked in perfect harmony, because its player count has just skyrocketed on Steam. So much so, in fact, that there are currently more people playing it than Path of Exile 2.

48 Hours till go live

Travelers,

In less than 48 hours, Last Epoch, Season 2 - Tombs of the Erased will be live!

Here is a quick recap of what is coming in Season 2, all the official announcements, and what to expect on Launch Day. Let's jump into it!

April 16th - 11 am CDT (GMT-5): 24 hours of downtime will commence while we deploy all of the changes coming in season 2. At this time, the online services will be unavailable. You will still have access to play Offline, and all of your Online progress will be preserved.

April 17th - 11 am CDT (GMT-5): Servers will go live. At that time, the supporter packs will unlock, and you will be able to purchase them from the Steam Store or your favorite creator's store (if they have them enabled). Twitch drops will go live for creators to begin streaming and their communities earning cosmetic rewards on the 17th at 00:01am UTC (16th at 07:01pm CDT). However, those cosmetics will not be active in Last Epoch until Season 2 launches.

While we are very confident in our launch day, once the season launches, the Last Epoch team will be prepped and ready to tackle issues if they arise. We will have a team on standby for hotfixes, and you can be assured that we will be paying attention to the community. We do that so that if there are issues, you can look to our official channels for updates and answers.
