Last Epoch Releases First Major Update With Patch Notes

Last Epoch came out of the gate to huge sales for developer Eleventh Hour Games last week. The hit action RPG has had some early issues with its servers, but that's to be expected when an early-access game gets a large audience so quickly. Fortunately, fans seem to love Last Epoch's take on the Diablo formula, with some saying it's better than Diablo 4 already. That said, the developers aren't going to stand pat, and they have already released the first major update for Last Epoch. This one doesn't add any of the new content Eleventh Hour has said is coming, but it does include a ton of bug fixes.

The list of fixes is long and includes several fixes for controller support. That was something Eleventh Hour noted in its recent blog post that needed work, so it's good to see the team focus on it here. The update also brings several key changes to a few skills. You'll want to look through the changes below to see if your build is affected. Finally, there are several UI and quest changes that should iron out many of the issues that have been plaguing the game since launch.

Below, you'll find the full patch notes for Update 1.0.1. Last Epoch is available now on PC.
