A New Chapter for Last Epoch: Mike Weicker takes over as Game Director
Eleventh Hour Games
Hello Travelers,
We have some exciting news to share with you! Starting today, Mike Weicker will be taking over as Game Director for Last Epoch, stepping in for Judd Cobler. Fear not, Judd isn't going anywhere. He will be focusing on his CEO duties, but he will still be around to help shape where the game goes next.
Check out the announcement video below to hear from Mike and Judd:
Why Mike?
Mike has been here from the start and wants to build the greatest ARPG ever made. This shows in how he talks about design, balance, and really everything. He's not new to any of this either. He's been a constant presence in Discord, and he's hosted our Friday Dev Q&A stream for over 200 episodes now, showing up week after week to just talk with players. He will continue to do all of this.
What Does This Mean for You
Our commitment to you, and to open communication about the game, is the same as it has always been. You're getting a Game Director who lives and breathes this game, who'll keep showing up to talk with you directly, and who is ready to take Last Epoch into the future.
Thank You Travelers!
None of this happens without you. We want to thank every one of you for your unwavering support and passion for Last Epoch. We cannot wait to keep creating the greatest ARPG ever, together.
See you in Eterra!
