Torchlight: Infinite

New Season 6 reveals fresh hero and gameplay

Torchlight: Infinite

10/11/2024 - Torchlight: Infinite enters its sixth season in October 2024. Players can expect a new hero class, expanded gameplay mechanics and an icy world full of challenges and rewards.

Torchlight: Infinite is gearing up for the launch of its sixth season, and the developers at XD Games have revealed exciting new features in their latest livestream. The focus is on the brand-new hero Selena, a powerful musician whose melodic playing sheds new light on the icy world of the "Frozen Canvas".

Selena - one hero, two play styles

Selena brings two unique forms to the game, allowing players to flexibly switch between support and damage roles. Her first form, Bard Mode, surrounds her abilities with clouds of foam that explode upon contact with enemies. This allows them to delay enemies while dealing damage from a safe distance. However, when it comes to going straight into battle, Selena switches to Loud Song mode, which restricts her movement but significantly boosts her attack power. This allows her to play a key role in the team as both a supporter and a damage dealer.

The frozen world of "Frozen Canvas"

In the new season, players will enter an icy dimension, the "Frozen Canvas", where they can collect snow paper fragments to unlock new sections. These fragments provide access to various paint mixing quests that allow players to paint their own canvas and discover hidden monsters and valuable treasures in the snowy plains and caves.

This season's gameplay revolves around collecting colors and creating a "living work of art" that has individual effects on the environment depending on progress and collected colors. By collecting "Colored Snow", players can not only unlock new brushstrokes, but also improve their skills and defeat even more powerful enemies.

New abilities and skill improvements

In addition to Selena, the sixth season also brings new support abilities that allow players to create creative and explosive builds. With the new Inspiration Essence, players can spread their support abilities across multiple slots, resulting in unexpected and spectacular effects in battle.

Other notable skill additions include Split Shot - Rapid Advance, an ability that fires projectiles continuously, and Groundshaker - Wrathful Vault, an attack type that creates a devastating fissure upon impact with the ground.

The balancing of the game has also been optimized. The frequency of rare abilities has been reduced to preserve their uniqueness, and hero abilities have been simplified to give players a clearer and more focused approach to leveling.

Revamped crafting mechanics

With the new season, the crafting system of Torchlight: Infinite will be heavily overhauled. Legendary items can no longer be crafted directly, and non-legendary crafting has been improved to provide a more consistent and rewarding gameplay experience. Players now have the ability to upgrade gear through the use of Rotten Axis and Brilliant Axis, which can lead to powerful affixes.

Challenges and endgame content

In addition to new abilities and a revamped world, Season 6 also brings additional challenges in the form of high-level boss battles. The new "Supreme Showdown" introduces 20 powerful bosses that will put players to the test. The daily boss fight against "Golden Havoc - Odak" also offers regular rewards for those who take on the challenges of the new season.

What is the main feature of the sixth season of Torchlight: Infinite?
The sixth season brings the new hero Selena as well as an icy game world where players can create their own canvas by collecting colors.

What new abilities are there?
New abilities include Split Shot - Rapid Advance and Groundshaker - Wrathful Vault, which give players more creative options in combat.

How does the crafting system work in the new season?
Legendary items can no longer be crafted directly, but non-legendary items have been improved. Players can refine items by using Rotten Axis and Brilliant Axis.

What new challenges does the sixth season offer?
Players can prove themselves against 20 high-level bosses in the "Supreme Showdown" and fight daily boss battles against "Golden Havoc - Odak".
