Brand New Hero And Gameplay Trailers Revealed For TORCHLIGHT: INFINITE

Huge role-playing games (RPG) with season passes often get some hefty updates. XD Inc’s live service RPG, Torchlight: Infinite, will get a content update that brings exciting new features like a new hero and more. Live service is unfortunately hit or miss these days so hopefully the people at XD Inc can make something worth gamers time. The new season pass is called The City of Aeterna.

Players will get to explore the ruins of Aeterna City. There will be timed challenges and candelabra to reignite and unlock Marks of Ruin. The marks activate certain reward spots around the map. When the map is covered enough, the fabled City of Aeterna will open and reveal the ultimate prize. Soul Candles are a new item that can be inserted into the Hunter’s Skill panel to unlock new abilities, which can then be upgraded with Tears of Aeterna that are dropped by enemies.

The Lone King of Aeterna is the big boss battle for the season, and he’s mad at all the Hunters trying to revitalize his home. The more reward spots conquered, the harder this battle will be. The Forsaken Iris is a new hero that has a unique ability to summon spirits to help in battle. These spirits grow with Iris thanks to the Growth mechanic. This means that if Iris evolves so do her minions.

Finally, there’s a new power for a preexisting hero, Gemma. Players will need to use Primocrysts or Hero Emblems to unlock the new power called Flame of Pleasure. Gemma will then be able to brand her enemies to cause massive damage then to follow up with a flame vortex that targets branded enemies as well as unbranded. These are just some of the new additions. There are other fixes to the core gameplay too like improving hero balancing and making it easier to find legendary gear.

Torchlight: Infinite is available on PC via Steam and Mobile via Android and iOS. The City of Aeterna season pass will release on September 7th.
