Torchlight: Infinite global launch and new season

Torchlight: Infinite is finally getting out of the beta into the global launch on all three platforms, Android, iOS and PC. The launch date is scheduled for May 9th, also marking the arrival of new playable content and features, overhaul of the loot and crafting system and lots of tweaks “under the hood”. And that’s not all. The developers from XD are promising constant evolution and new milestones for the game.

What’s new?

Torchlight Infinite’s newest season features the introduction of Escapist Bing, a playable hero who brings an element of unpredictability and mischief to the RPG’s character selection. With a relentless barrage of bombs, Escapist Bing can easily bewilder and defeat opponents. Additionally, players of Thea can now access the Divine Realm Hero Trait, which provides even more avenues for playing as Torchlight’s enigmatic Oracle.

At the recent community livestream, new information was revealed about the “Cube of Rapacity,” an innovative gameplay element that brings an enticing risk-reward factor to Torchlight’s dungeon exploration. As players defeat the elusive Desire Incarnations, they may stumble upon enigmatic cubes containing Divinity Slates – scarce artifacts that interlock to form unique patterns. Assemble complete Divinity Slate sets to earn exciting rewards in the upcoming season, but be wary: the Cube of Rapacity has a tendency to punish those who succumb to greed.
