The XD Games studio announced the imminent start of the eighth season in the Torchlight: Infinite rally action, called Sandlord. The launch of the update will be held on April 18, at 5:00 Moscow time. The main theme will be the development of air settlements and economic management in conditions of desert celestial open spaces.
In the season, players will have to take on the role of the ruler of the soaring city of the cloud oasis, which needs to engage in resource management, trade, construction and optimization of production chains. It will also be possible to hire employees of five different professions, allowing you to expand and modernize celestial settlements. The gameplay in this case will resemble urban planning simulators.
The update will also be marked by the return of the heroine of Thea, this time with a new game style. Having abandoned the divine power, she accepts the curse of the desecration that enhances the damage from erosion as the blessings are lost. The development of this feature in the talent tree allows you to adapt it to damage in the region or explosive effects.
The mechanics “deep cosmos” will be subjected to significant processing. Players will be able to go through five new stages with an increased area of maps, a greater density of opponents and complicated survival conditions. The new system of the Sunda modifiers allows you to change complexity and increase the chance for rare prey. Some of the probes can also activate hidden events, including the appearance of chests with comes.
Among other things, a merger system will appear in the game, which allows you to impose unique properties, talents and heroic features on the belts, expanding the variability of builds. In Endheim, the players are waiting for a new boss – a night killer: a fading feather that will appear on the twentieth floor of Supreme Showdown.
From April 17 to May 1, 2025, Torchlight: Infinite will also take place for the second anniversary of the project – Sands of Fortune. Players will be able to carry out intra -game tasks and receive attempts to participate in the prize draw from the fund estimated at $ 250,000.
