In the broader statement, Cobler acknowledged that Last Epoch’s release date was later than we all expected. However, with the sketchy track record of Kickstarter-funded games and a number of recent bug-ridden and half-backed releases, I can’t help but think that waiting for the game to be ready is a more sustainable business model. The busy December release schedule was also cited as an issue.and Cobler stated that they “didn’t want the ARPG community to have to choose” between several new offerings.
New sustainable content releases every few months Improvements to the game, as well as refinement and balance, are also promised, with everything from new endgame content to quality of life features in the mix.
