Torchlight: Infinite Season 8: Sandlord Launches This Month

Torchlight: Infinite has unveiled an exciting new chapter with the upcoming Season 8: Sandlord, set to launch on April 17th. This season promises a significant transformation, introducing floating cities, economic gameplay, and real-world prizes that will enrich the action RPG experience.

In Season 8, players will embark on more than just combat missions; they'll delve into empire-building within the skies through the new Cloud Oasis. This feature allows players to engage in resource trading, workforce management, and production line oversight to establish their aerial strongholds. It's an innovative shift that blends strategic economic management with the traditional thrill of monster-slaying.

Thea, a familiar face, makes her return with a fresh twist. Her new Blasphemer trait swaps her divine abilities for the Desecration curse. Starting off modestly, this curse escalates dramatically, amplifying Erosion damage as her blessing power depletes. Players can explore build variations that enhance this into area-of-effect explosions or health-scaling effects, appealing to those who enjoy intricate damage-over-time and synergy-focused strategies.

Endgame content sees substantial enhancements as well. Deep Space has undergone a complete overhaul, featuring five new stages, expanded maps, and more challenging enemies. The introduction of the Probes system allows players to adjust the risk and reward dynamics, with each Probe ramping up the difficulty but offering the chance for superior loot, including Compass chests through the Compass Probe.

For those seeking the best classes to leverage in Torchlight: Infinite, the game's diversity caters to various playstyles, ensuring everyone can find their niche.

Season 8 also introduces the Blending System, revolutionizing belt crafting by allowing the fusion of Hero Traits, Talent nodes, and unique affixes into a single item slot, thus enabling deeper and more personalized build options. A new formidable boss, Night Slayer – The Wilting Plume, has been added to Plane Watcher and awaits players on the 20th floor of Supreme Showdown.

To celebrate this season's 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 have a chance to win from a $250,000 prize pool.
