On October 12, XD Inc. (hereafter XD) unveiled a preview of SS14 'Tartarus', the new season for Torchlight: Infinite. The season is officially scheduled to open at 11:00 AM on October 16.
Torchlight: Infinite, a cross-platform hack-and-slash loot action game developed directly by XD, introduces content this season that combines prison management with prisoner capture. Players take on the role of the new Warden of Tartarus, securing escaped prisoners through combat, managing cellblocks, nurturing prisoners, and suppressing large-scale riots. Outcomes vary depending on which prisoners players choose to grow and how they utilize events and elements within the prison.
As a new Hero Trait, Youga's "The Ultimate One" has been added. Set around hunting down versions of himself in other timelines to absorb their power, the trait utilizes automatic attacks via the Clockwork Core alongside spacetime abilities. Players can build their own playstyle by combining progression paths such as spacetime combat, rapid movement, and various magic skills.
Existing hero "Oracle Thea" is receiving a rework that restructures her Hero Traits. Build options will expand centered on the Blessing system, with plans to also add new tower sequences, support skills, and Legendary gear.
Progression content and quality-of-life improvements are being implemented as well. Support features are provided so that new and returning players can experience the season's core content and build setups more quickly.
Detailed information on SS14 'Tartarus' can be found on the official Torchlight: Infinite website and Naver Lounge.
