Come full circle

Torchlight is an action RPG game franchise that first appeared back in 2009. The series has made a name of itself all on its own, with its now-signature cel-shaded game and character designs, steampunk aesthetics, and fun and accessible gameplay. Out of its three mainline releases, Torchlight II still remains the favorite among gamers hence, Torchlight: Infinite will follow its story arc.

In this game, the world relies solely on Ember as its main power source for machinery and magic applications. However, hidden behind the seeming prosperity looms a dark corruption that is slowly spreading. You are part of an elite task force called Torchlight, and it is your duty to stop this threat before it’s too late. You will get to choose from four character classes for the battle ahead.

In addition, there are a total of 24 skills trees, with over 180 skills and abilities spanning across them to help you create a playstyle of your own. As mentioned earlier, you can visit its official website to preregister, but there’s no official release date yet. There’s also an ongoing closed beta, and you can request access to possibly play and preview the gameplay before it comes out.

Rising from the embers

The Torchlight series has had a tough time rediscovering the magic that made Torchlight II great, but it’s getting another chance with Torchlight: Infinite. While it’s too soon to tell, the trailer and early sneak peek of the gameplay point to good signs. For now, you just have to preregister and wait or try to get in on the action via the closed beta.
