Torchlight: Infinite, a free-to-play take on the old dungeon crawler, is getting its full launch next month.


 

Torchlight: Infinite is set to emerge from open beta on 9th May on PC and mobile. This is the first game in the series to be developed by Shanghai-based XD Games, a specialist in free to play titles.

The original Torchlight was released by American studio Runic Games back in 2009, and received glowing praise for its hack and slash dungeon-crawling gameplay. Runic was bought by Chinese publisher Perfect World in 2010, and released a well-received sequel to Torchlight in 2012. But the studio was shuttered by its owner in 2017, with Perfect World stating that the closure was part of its ā€œcontinued strategy to focus on online games as a serviceā€œ. Torchlight III was developed by San Francisco studio Echtra Games and published by Perfect World in 2020, but received mixed reviews.

Torchlight: Infinite is the first game in the series to adopt a free-to-play formula. The title has been in open beta since late 2022, and two seasons have already been released, but the full game launch will coincide with the release of a new season: Cube of Rapacity. This will involve looting cubes from defeated monsters, which have a chance to reveal Divinity Slates, puzzle pieces that can be slotted together to earn rewards.

The Early Access version of Torchlight: Infinite has been gathering Mostly Positive reviews at the time of writing, and the game allows for cross-play between PC and mobile.
