Last Epoch Update 1.0 will arrive this week, ending the title’s Early Access period and starting a new era. Developed with heavy input from the community, Last Epoch hopes to establish itself as an alternative option for hack ‘n slay RPG fans somewhere between Diablo and Path of Exile.

According to SteamDB, this gambit seems to be going well at the moment: Last Epoch clocked in peak concurrent player numbers between 32,000 and 27,000 over the weekend, ahead of Path of Exile with roughly 24,000 and Diablo 4 with around 12,000 – though for Blizzard’s title Steam numbers aren’t the end-all-be-all, of course.

Last Epoch Update 1.0: How long will servers be down?

It’s important to note that the Last Epoch servers go down 24 hours before Update 1.0 will be released, which means that you won’t be able to log in during this timeframe. If you’re playing offline while the servers go down, you should get to continue without any issues.
