Torchlight: Infinite developers XD Games have announced that the game will launch globally in May alongside its next big patch. Torchlight: Infinite has been available on Android for really a while now, but it has yet to actually move out of a beta state.
It’s been tested in a few closed betas, and then it finally launched in open beta while receiving multiple patches to add new content. Each new patch has also added fixes and fine tuning to prepare for the eventual global launch. That time is just around the corner, and there’s a lot to look forward to whether you’ve been enjoying the open beta or not.
With the launch of the new season, titled Cube of Rapacity, players will be introduced to a suite of new features. Including a new game mechanic of the same name. While out exploring, players may come across enemies called Desire Incarnations. These can drop cubes that will have a chance to contain items called Divinity Slates. Divinity Slates will fit together like a puzzle and players who complete the patterns for them can earn rewards. But XD also issues an ominous warning. Players who “get too greedy will be punished by the Cube of Rapacity.”
Torchlight: Infinite will launch globally on May 9
The official global release (out of open beta) is on May 9. But based on your region the launch timing seems like it’ll change. The game is set to release on May 9 at 1am BST. Which is 4pm PST on May 8.
Though this doesn’t necessarily mean the servers will be live. Games have a tendency to go down for server maintenance for official launches. So players should expect that as a possibility. Aside from the new Cube of Rapacity mechanic, the season will usher in other meaningful changes as well.
XD notes that since the open beta began, it’s been listening to the community feedback. And it wants players to know that feedback is being taken into account. Some of that feedback has led to a slate of upcoming changes. Including an overhaul to crafting where players will be able to start crafting gear sooner and more often than ever before.
XD is also adding a guild feature, the ability to view battle reports after completing a stage, and a new trade house functionality. Among other things. XD says it has much more content and features planned as well. Stating that the game will continue to evolve for some time.
Play on mobile or PC
Torchlight: Infinite initially was meant as a mobile release. But it’s not just for mobile anymore. XD confirms it’ll be available via Steam in its global launch state on May 9. But it gets even better as the gameplay and controls have been further optimized for Steam Deck too. Which means playing the game on Steam Deck should be more enjoyable.
The game is already available on Steam via early access. And of course it’s available in open beta on Android.
