Last Epoch Season Launch Breaks 150k Players
Published on: 4/18/2025
The launch of Season 2 for Last Epoch has proven to be a massive success, as revealed by SteamDB. The game's concurrent player count surged from just a few thousand to an impressive 150,591! This milestone secured Last Epoch the number 6 spot on Steam's top 10 most-played games as we head into the Easter weekend.
The Tombs of the Erased update marks a monumental moment for the game. With over 100 pages of patch notes, it features a full rework of the Sentinel class, a new skill for the Rogue Marksman, six new endgame crafting systems, and the addition of the titular Tombs of the Erased—side zones that lay the foundation for Last Epoch's new endgame systems.
Players are thrilled by the update, many humorously poking fun at Path of Exile 2. Notably, the developers at Eleventh Hour Games chose to reschedule Last Epoch's launch to April 17th to avoid competing directly with *Path of Exile 2's* Dawn of the Hunt release. While this decision raised some eyebrows initially, the extra time and distance seem to have paid off, giving Last Epoch the spotlight it deserved.
