What it is
aRPG Timeline (arpg-timeline.com) is a multi-game season tracker for Action RPGs. Coverage includes PoE 1, PoE 2, D4, LE, and other community-tier games. For LE specifically it tracks every cycle (S1, S2, S3, S4, ...) with start date and live countdown.
Main features:
- Per-game pages: each game has its page with season history and current/next launch.
- Multi-game dashboard: comparison view of when each game starts.
- iCal subscription: subscribe to the calendar URL → seasons appear automatically in your Google/Apple/Outlook calendar.
- Live countdowns: each page has a timer to the next launch.
- Community catalog: in addition to mainstream games, lists lesser-known community games.
Free, no signup.
What problem it solves
If you play multiple ARPGs in rotation, planning when each starts is hard — every game announces its season on its own site/Discord/Twitter. You hear by accident that PoE started "yesterday" when you were already planning to level LE.
aRPG Timeline solves this with a single source for all: one page, you see when each game starts, you plan your rotation. The calendar subscription extends this — without opening the site, you get alerts in your normal calendar.
For LE specifically, it also tracks history of past cycle starts — useful for predicting the next cycle if EHG hasn't yet announced an official date.
What people use it for
Gaming rotation planning: see when each ARPG starts → decide if you'll do a fresh char in LE this cycle or wait for PoE.
Season start alert: subscribe to the iCal → get a reminder 1 day before launch.
Verify historic timing: want to know how long the past cycle lasted → the page shows dates.
Game discovery: if you only know mainstream, the community catalog has lesser-known games that might interest you.
Share with friends: link the LE page to a Discord group to coordinate a fresh char start.
Who it's NOT for
- Single-game players: if you only play LE and nothing else, the official dev tracker or Discord announcements suffice.
- Those who don't use calendar apps: the killer feature is the iCal sub. Without it, less useful.
How it's used in practice
See countdown: timer to the next cycle.
Subscribe to the calendar: "Calendar Subscription" link → copy the iCal URL → paste into Google/Apple/Outlook as a subscribed calendar.
For multi-game view: home page has a dashboard with all games.
For history: scroll the LE page to see past cycles with their dates.
Honest limitations
Depends on official announcements: if EHG hasn't announced an official date yet, aRPG Timeline shows "TBA" or estimate. Not a crystal ball.
No proactive notification: the iCal notifies in your calendar, but there's no default push notification or email alert.
No community features: no comments, ratings, per-user custom calendars.
No mid-cycle patch info: only tracks cycle starts. For hotfixes/patches during cycle, go to the dev tracker.
No localization: English only, though the info is mostly dates/numbers.
How to start
arpg-timeline.com/game/last-epoch. No signup.
Ideal setup: copy the iCal URL → paste into Google Calendar as "Add by URL" → seasons appear automatically.
