Last Epoch’s early access days are coming to an end, with update 1.0 marking the release of the game’s full version. Many players are curious whether there will be a Last Epoch wipe in the major 1.0 update as some characters are a couple of years old.
Good news for Last Epoch players! Developers Eleventh Hour Games have confirmed that there won’t be a Last Epoch wipe when the game’s patch 1.0 goes live. This announcement has allayed player fears around the topic. However, there is a catch.
While you will be able to keep your Last Epoch character from the game’s early access, they will only be available offline. This means you won’t be able to use them in online play. It’s unlikely that most players will stick to their offline saves once multiplayer becomes available. However, the sentimental value of your previous characters will remain.
There is speculation that the developers may implement features for Last Epoch players with early access characters, giving them more room in terms of gameplay. However, this is not confirmed. It is expected that the developers' priorities will focus on online play after patch 1.0 arrives, as anticipation for more seasons and content grows exponentially.
In conclusion, Last Epoch players can rejoice as there will be no wipe when the game’s patch 1.0 is released. Your characters from the early access days will be preserved, albeit only for offline play. While the possibility of additional features for early access characters exists, the developers' main focus will likely be on expanding the online play experience. Get ready for more seasons and exciting content!
