Torchlight: Infinite's next chapter, Season 8: Sandlord, is set to launch on April 17th, promising a significant overhaul of the game. This season introduces an array of fresh content to the action RPG, including floating cities, economic gameplay mechanics, and real-world prizes for players to win.
In Season 8, players will dive into the innovative Sandlord mechanic, featuring the new Cloud Oasis. Here, you'll immerse yourself in trading resources, managing workers, and overseeing production lines to construct your own aerial empire. It's not just about battling monsters anymore; it's about strategic economic management.
Thea, a beloved character, makes a return with a new twist. Her Blasphemer trait introduces a curse named Desecration, which, although starting weak, scales significantly. It enhances Erosion damage based on the depletion of her blessing power. Players can further customize this trait to create area-of-effect explosions or health-scaling effects, catering to fans of damage-over-time and synergy-focused builds.
The endgame content in Torchlight: Infinite has been revamped, with Deep Space undergoing a complete overhaul. It now features five new stages, larger maps, and more challenging enemies. Players can adjust the level of risk and reward using the new Probes system, which ramps up the difficulty while offering the chance at superior loot, including Compass chests via the Compass Probe.
The update also introduces a Blending System for crafting belts, enabling the fusion of Hero Traits, Talent nodes, and unique affixes into a single item slot. This system allows for more in-depth build customization. Additionally, a new boss, Night Slayer – The Wilting Plume, has been added to Plane Watcher and the 20th floor of Supreme Showdown.
To celebrate the launch, the Sands of Fortune anniversary event will run from April 17th to May 1st. Players can participate in tasks, earn Gold Rush Attempts, and have a chance to win from a $250,000 prize pool.
