Last Epoch Beta Patch 0.9 Convergence Update
Multiplayer, Bug Fixes, Plans for Offline Mode
Last Epoch is an action RPG in a dark fantasy world where players assume the role of a time traveler tasked with navigating various eras and preventing the world's end. The game shares similarities with the Diablo series, including its dark fantasy setting, loot-focused gameplay, and character customization options.
In the Beta Patch 0.9 update, Last Epoch announced that they would give this single-player game a multiplayer mode. That being said, it would still be based on invites, meaning players would have to invite people to their party. This was a highly requested feature by the game's fans, as playing with friends adds to the game's feel, especially during campaigns that require fighting bosses.
The game's performance has also been improved with updates to frame rate, enemies, skills, and visual effects. In one of the comment replies, the developers mentioned that they were trying to get the game to have an offline mode by the next patch, 1.0. The plan is to play the game offline, with an internet connection required only when the multiplayer button is selected.
Overall, the game continues to evolve and improve with each patch, offering players an engaging and customizable gameplay experience in a dark and intriguing world.
Last Epoch Hits Triple All Time Peak Record on Steam
On March 13, Last Epoch had an impressive 40,000 players supporting their game on Steam when the multiplayer function was live in-game.

Despite these issues, players were patient and understanding as they recognized that the game was still in beta. The beta patch 0.9 is currently the most prominent patch that the game has ever received.
The developers remain open to criticism and suggestions, allowing players to significantly influence the game's development. While some players who are fans of the Diablo series and Path of Exile have pointed out the game's shortcomings, the developers see it as motivation and consider it a suggestion for improvement.
Last Epoch is still in the early access stage on Steam, and its update, Beta Patch 0.9 Convergence, was released on March 9, 2023.
