Last Epoch’s first meaningful patch since its release in February is here, with a focus on UI changes, controller fixes, as well as performance improvements.
Last Epoch has flown out the gates in early access, offering players a great alternative to ARPGs like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile. The game lets you choose between one of it’s fantasy classes and go out into a world of nasties in order to best it.
The game’s developer has promised support to go on for a while, with promises of years of content to come. However, while many want to see new content to play, the health and performance of the game is ever important.
