It was a big month for Path 2 in Asylum 2, seeing the dawn of Hunt Update fall and the players’ huge strips return to the Early Access ARPG. One of its main rivals, The last eraforeshadowed this and delayed its own Season 2 update and dodged it. With the player count just spiked over steam, this positive thought and the exciting content of Season 2 seem to be in perfect harmony. In fact, there are actually more people playing it than the way of exile.
The title of Tombs of the Erased is the final Epoch Season 2, a big 11-hour action RPG moment. The fresh IP, which is early in comparison to Diablo and the path of exile, Juggernaut, has proven to compete with both, and Season 2 may still be the best update. It brings new content themed new content around the woven endgame encounters and maps, including improved already extraordinary craft and loot optimization tools, reworking Sentinel classes, and more.
The news of that short delay was a shame that players of the time were eager to return, but that was definitely the right call. The 11 hours were very transparent and frankly stated at the time: “I learned that a friend from the ARPG space chose a release date a few days later, splitting the player base and preventing the success of Season 2’s release.”
But, following the big update a few weeks ago, even if there is much interest remaining in the exile Path 2, look at the figures for today’s final epoch on April 17th.
According to SteamDB, its player count has skyrocketed from just a few thousand players to a simultaneous peak of over 150,000. At the time of writing, there are currently more people playing the last epoch on Valve’s platform than PUBG, Rust, Rainbow Six Siege, (Drumroll, Please Please) Exile 2.
The demand for returning to the game was so high that 11 hours had to provide an update of the status of the last epoch server, due to the barrage of players trying to log in, but now things seem to be running more smoothly.
I’m excited about the last epoch and it’s that so many people have returned to the game. The quality of the update and the wise decision to delay it deserves to be rewarded for the kind of influx we are seeing right now.
If you’re a fan of Blizzard’s ARPG series, it’s one of the best games like Diablo and you definitely should consider trying it out. Also, if you’re looking for a challenging cooperative game for you and a few friends to get stuck together, it’s a powerful candidate.
