Eleventh Hour Games has revealed new details aboutLast EpochSeason 3, including new character class reworks and gear. Season 3 ofLast Epoch, titled “Beneath Ancient Skies,” arrives just a few weeks removed from Krafton’s acquisition of the game’s studio.
Krafton announced its acquisition of Eleventh Hour Games on July 25, and studio CEO Judd Cobler expressed excitement aboutLast Epochhaving more resources and opportunities under Krafton’s publishing umbrella, despite the ongoing controversy surrounding the publisher’s lawsuit against Subnautica 2’s studio founders. Fortunately, plans forLast Epochcontinue unabated, with Season 3: Beneath Ancient Skies scheduled for release on August 21.
A new trailer forLast EpochSeason 3 has been released, and several new details about character class reworks, new gear, and more were revealed, as reported byPCGamesN. The new update will add the next chapter of Last Epoch’s main story, which focuses on the Ancient Era. Players will head back to the prehistoric period to hunt down the Rift Beast that lurks in chaotic rifts, and various classes will be reworked to prepare players for their journey. The Season 3 update will reworkAcolyte’s Lich and Necromancer subclasses, with both expected to receive overhauled passive skills. There will also be new dual-wielding options, the brand-new Flay skill, and balancing adjustments to minions for both the Necromancer and Primalist’s Beastmaster.

Along with the class reworks,Last EpochSeason 3will introduce new “primordial exalted items” and “primordial uniques,” which are new gear items that offer additional skills and bonuses. A few of these new gear pieces were confirmed, such as the Tyrant’s Skill, Wildfire Embers, and Legends Entwined. Tyrant’s Skill is a relic capable of summoning a Tyrannosaur minion, Wildfire Embers is an amulet that spreads ignite and creates Wildfire Wisps that can copy the player’s fire skills, and Legends Entwined is a powerful ring that “counts as part of every equipped item set” and grants bonuses based on the number of complete item sets being worn.
