Community Feedback & Game State
Today, April 17, 2025, marks the release of Last Epoch's Season 2, Tombs of the Erased, launching at 6:00 PM CET. The update introduces new bosses, a new faction, a Weaver skill tree for endgame, Woven Echoes Monoliths, and a Sentinel rework, alongside skill buffs and new items. Posts on X highlight excitement, with streamers like CapCorgiTTV calling it “AWESOME” and inviting players to dive in. This release, delayed from April 2 to avoid clashing with Path of Exile 2's 0.2.0 patch, aims to carve out its space in the ARPG scene after the initial Dawn of the Hunt hype.
Meanwhile, an hour ago at 2:28 AM PDT, GGG announced their plans for patch 0.2.0g, aiming for a swift release while remaining flexible due to the upcoming Easter holidays and ANZAC Day, a New Zealand public holiday next week. The patch focuses on loot improvements, including better boss drop quality in the campaign, overall boss drop enhancements, and improved Azmerian Wisp monster drops. Additionally, GGG will reduce the number of Corrupted Nexuses needed for Atlas Passive Points and improve their visibility on the Atlas Map. Other changes include better Pinnacle content access, reduced Simulacrum difficulty, and enhanced Expedition Remnant rewards with lower difficulty spikes. GGG wished players a happy Easter weekend, signaling a brief pause in updates. On Reddit, players appreciated the loot focus, with one user noting, “Better Wisp drops are exactly what we needed—endgame feels more rewarding already!” The ladders show top players thriving, with Amazon and Deadeye leading across modes, even amidst competition from Last Epoch.
