On October 2, KRAFTON, Inc.'s creative studio Eleventh Hour Games (EHG) updated Season 5, 'Rage of the Frostborn,' for the action RPG Last Epoch. The update also added a new boss, three new skills, as well as new Unique and Set items.
Along with this update, EHG co-founder Mike Weicker has stepped into the role of the new Game Director for Last Epoch. Mike Weicker has participated in the game's development for about 9 years, starting from its early development phase in 2017. Continuing the development philosophy led by EHG CEO Judd Cobler, he will oversee future development direction and live service operations.
"It is meaningful to greet the developers and players who have built Last Epoch together for so long in this new role," said Game Director Mike Weicker. "While carrying forward the core fun and development philosophy that Last Epoch has built, I will listen closely to players' feedback to continuously evolve the game."
In the seasonal content 'Rage of Morditas,' players can activate 'Blood Crystals' and withstand enemy onslaughts to earn rewards. By utilizing gathered resources and rituals, players can adjust the type and quality of rewards depending on their playstyle.
For combat content, the new boss 'Morditas' and pinnacle boss 'Pinnacle Morditas' have been added. The three newly introduced skills alongside Unique and Set items expand options for character builds and item combinations.
For Season 5, EHG established a dedicated localization team and worked alongside KRAFTON to overhaul in-game text and overall content. In particular, they overhauled the accuracy and consistency of Korean phrasing and terminology, and plan to continue investing in improving multilingual localization quality, including Korean, moving forward.
