Last Epoch Season 2 Release Date

We are excited to share that the first season of Last Epoch is nearing its conclusion, ushering in the highly anticipated Season 2. This upcoming season, titled „Harbingers of Ruin,“ promises fresh challenges and engaging content for all players.

Our exploration into Season 2 reveals a host of new features and mechanics that will elevate the gaming experience. Let's look forward to discovering what this new chapter holds for us.

When is the Last Epoch Season 2 release date?

The „Harbingers of Ruin“ season for Last Epoch is set to go live on July 9, 2024, at 11 a.m. CT / 5 p.m. BST. We are only a few hours away from this exciting update. In preparation, the developers have taken the servers offline for 24 hours to perform necessary maintenance. This downtime means players will encounter a login error if they try to access the game during this period. We can expect the servers to be back online as soon as the maintenance is complete, ready for the new season's content.

Last Epoch Season 2 new content and features

Season 2 of Last Epoch, titled „Harbingers of Ruin,“ comes with a slew of updates and additions. One notable addition is the Evade skill being introduced for all classes. Though it functions like movement abilities, Evade is unique in that it cannot be unequipped or replaced with other skills.

The introduction of the Nemesis system is another significant change. This system brings random encounters that appear across the Campaign, Monolith, and Dungeons. These enemies drop Vengeful weapons, which are specifically designed to counter the Harbingers.

Boss defenses are also seeing changes to make them more transparent. Bosses will now have shields that activate at certain points and decay over time. This adjustment means that even builds with lower DPS can still defeat bosses if the player can endure the fight long enough.

Another new feature is the Glyph of Envy. This item is especially useful for leveling alternate characters. Players can use it on a less critical item, enabling them to skip a timeline, maximize stability, and defeat the boss to quickly level up their alt. However, these glyphs are only obtainable in level 100 zones, ensuring they don't disrupt any competitive races.

Here are additional updates coming in Season 2:

Skill Updates: Various skills will be altered, adding more depth and options for players.
Enemy Tweaks: Both nerfs and buffs are applied to enemies, adjusting the game's balance.
Item Changes: Multiple items will undergo modifications, perhaps altering their stats or introducing new effects.

With these updates, Season 2 promises to bring fresh challenges and mechanics that will keep all of us eager to explore the new content.
