Season 3 of Last Epoch is getting closer, and we just got a sneak peek at what is coming next during the latest dev stream a few days ago! Mike took the time to share some teasers during the stream, and answered the questions he could about the upcoming season.
You can catch up on stream here, if you want to watch it:
Here is a recap of what you need to remember!
A Mysterious Goat & Season 3 Teaser
- A new teaser showed off the first look at Season 3 content.
- The goat character in the trailer is not just for fun! It will actually be part of the season’s story.
- The content once teased as Primal Hunt has changed a lot. Season 3 will include many reworked systems.
- An mysterious wooden item was also teased:
Major Updates & Features Coming
- Unity 6 engine upgrade is arriving before Season 3 launches.
- No new social features like guilds yet. Season 3 focuses on gameplay and content.
- All new features will be available in Legacy too, not just in the seasonal mode.
- Only one new Acolyte skill is coming, tied to a specific mastery (not a full class rework).
Gear, Crafting & Systems
- Primordial Uniques don’t follow a shared theme, they are just very strong gear pieces.
- No guaranteed high-tier rolls for Weaver items.
- Socketable gear is being discussed, but not coming yet.
- Arcane damage will not be added for now, it would make things too complex.
- Better stash management and maybe text import/export are being considered.
Gameplay & Quality of Life
- The skill Gathering Storm might have targeting bugs, fixes are on the way.
- Controller support is getting better, including for Steam Deck players.
- Auto-loot for Glyphs and Runes is being talked about, but not planned right now.
- Raid bosses and co-op PvE content are ideas for the future, but nothing active yet.
Lore, Secrets & NPCs
- The voice lines of Fallen Mages hint at lore, but not at future updates.
- No big hidden secrets left in the game (for now).
- A special master craftsman NPC will appear in Season 3
Balance & Future Plans
- Progress between classes is improving, but balancing remains tricky.
- Blessing system may be rebalanced later, no patch yet.
- No plans to change class themes like giving Necrotic to Mages, unless it is through a unique item.
- Resonance drop rates are being looked into.
Community & Suggestions
- Some new items come directly from player suggestions on Discord.
- You can still suggest unique ideas for Season 3! Some have not been finalized yet!
- Seasonal exclusives like limited-time features might come in the future, but not for Season 3.
- Devs are staying careful about power creep.
Other Cool Details
- No pet-collecting or “monster capture” system is coming.
- Skill visuals and animations are being polished more and more.
- A Death Knight is not planned for Acolyte. If it happens, it might be for Sentinel instead.
- Endgame scaling, timed content, and bigger party sizes are on the devs’ radar.
- New cosmetics (MTX) are coming, but not in huge amounts.
Season 3 is definitely coming with a ton of cool updates and improvements! So get yourself ready for dinosaurs, goats, and more on August 21st, 2025!
