Last Epoch’s official release date is almost approaching. Eleventh Hour Games published it in early access over five years ago. However, because the early access phase is solely for PCs, it raises concerns regarding the console release.
As of this writing, there has been no assurance that Last Epoch will be available on Xbox at launch.
In this post, we’ll talk about the prospect of a console release for this much anticipated ARPG, namely on Xbox.

However, while Eleventh Hour Games has not announced a console release date, CEO Judd Cobler revealed in a Reddit post that they want to build a console version of the game.
In a livestream, Mike Weicker, developer for Eleventh Hour Games, revealed the following about a prospective console release:
“Uh, not anytime soon. We haven’t actually started pursuing a relationship with Sony or Microsoft regarding a console release, so there’s a lot to do there. We are working very hard on a high quality and fun controller implementation and that’s going pretty well but it’s not fully finished yet. There’s some requirements for consoles that we don’t have yet, like pausing the game. I know it seems like a silly little requirement but that’s a requirement and right now we can’t pause.”
Although Judd Cobler and Mike Weicker have both said that console versions are expected shortly, they will not be published alongside the Last Epoch 1.0 upgrade. Stay up to speed on the console release date by following official announcements and development updates.
