The excitement for Torchlight: Infinite's next chapter is palpable as Season 8: Sandlord is set to launch on April 17th, promising a significant overhaul and a fresh wave of content for the ARPG enthusiasts. This season introduces the intriguing Cloud Oasis, a new area where players can engage in economic gameplay mechanics, trading resources, managing workers, and overseeing production lines to construct their aerial empire.
Returning with a twist, Thea introduces her new Blasphemer trait, which replaces her divine powers with a curse named Desecration. This curse begins modestly but grows formidable, enhancing Erosion damage in proportion to the diminishing blessing power. Players can further amplify this effect into area-of-effect explosions or health-scaling mechanics, making it an ideal choice for those who revel in damage-over-time and synergistic strategies.
Endgame content in Torchlight: Infinite is also receiving a major update. Deep Space has been completely revamped, featuring five new stages, expanded maps, and more challenging enemies. A novel system called Probes allows players to adjust the level of risk and reward, with each probe increasing the challenge but also the potential for better loot, including exclusive Compass chests.
Season 8 introduces the innovative Blending System for belt crafting, enabling players to integrate Hero Traits, Talent nodes, and unique affixes into a single item slot, thus offering more profound build customization. Additionally, a new boss, Night Slayer – The Wilting Plume, has been added to the game, joining Plane Watcher and appearing on the 20th floor of the Supreme Showdown.
Coinciding with the season launch, the Sands of Fortune anniversary event will run from April 17th to May 1st. Players can participate in various tasks, earn Gold Rush Attempts, and vie for a share of a $250,000 prize pool.
