Last Epoch season two starts at 11am CT / 5pm BST on July 9, 2024. When the season begins, you can log in and create a new seasonal character to experience all the new features. If you’re eager to play, keep an eye on the timer below and try to log in when the servers go live.

There were widespread login issues and server problems during the first few days of Last Epoch’s season one launch, so don’t be surprised if you struggle to play shortly after season two launches. The servers may be overwhelmed again.

We strongly recommend you don’t book time off work to play Last Epoch season two for at least the first day or two after it launches—you might be disappointed.

Season one lasted just over four and a half months, with Last Epoch 1.0 launching on Feb. 24 to a mostly positive reception, so season two will probably run until the end of the year.

For a full list of changes coming in Last Epoch season two—including the much-anticipated dodge ability—check out the changelog on the official site.
