XD Inc. (hereafter “XD”) announced today (the 5th) that its official global offline event for Torchlight: Infinite—the cross-platform hack-and-slash, loot-farming action game developed in-house—“TorchCon Seoul” will be held for the first time in Seoul on January 10.

TorchCon Seoul marks the second global TorchCon event held for audiences worldwide. Following the inaugural event hosted in Shanghai, China in July last year, the decision to bring the event to Seoul was made to reflect the importance of the Korean market. Notably, this will be TorchCon’s first official event in Korea, giving it added significance as the brand’s first global-stage opportunity to communicate directly with Korean players.

TorchCon is a global official event designed to share Torchlight: Infinite’s behind-the-scenes development stories, outline the future direction of upcoming seasons, and foster交流 among Hunters worldwide. At TorchCon Seoul, the team plans to look back on the past year with a review of major 2025 updates and seasons, and will reveal the 2026 roadmap for the first time, presenting the game’s future direction. In addition, a developer Q&A session—featuring Executive Game Director Liu Hyeong, Executive Producer Wang Yule, and Global Community Lead Manager Andre, among other members of the dev team—will enable deeper, more substantive communication around the intent behind content design and the plans ahead.

Through TorchCon Seoul, XD aims to more clearly communicate the game’s core philosophy and content vision, while further strengthening the point of connection between the global community and Korean users. Additional details about the event will be released sequentially through the official community channels.

Meanwhile, Torchlight: Infinite also shared key schedule details ahead of the launch of its new Season SS11 on January 16 at 11:00 a.m. Accordingly, a preview broadcast that will allow players to check out the core highlights of Season SS11 in advance is scheduled for January 9 at 9:00 p.m.

For Season SS11, the game is teasing major changes centered on new seasonal content titled “Blood Rust.” Hunters will hunt infected monsters and, through preparation and enhancement processes, take on high-risk, high-reward battles. With season-exclusive objectives and rewards, the overall loot-farming flow is expected to become even more reinforced. In particular, the season will add exclusive elements that raise both difficulty and rewards at the same time, building anticipation for a more challenging gameplay experience.

A new Hero Trait, “Cateye Erika – Revenge Spike,” will also be introduced. Erika showcases an assassin-style combat approach that combines ultra-fast movement with close-quarters fighting, positioning her as a new option for Hunters who favor high-risk, high-reward play.

In addition, Season SS11 will feature a newly announced build-up system that expands the freedom of equipment customization, along with new combat mechanics and quality improvements across the UI. The season’s focus is on delivering a deeper endgame and loot-farming experience.

Executive Game Director Liu Hyeong of Torchlight: Infinite said, “TorchCon Seoul is the second global event following Shanghai, and we decided to hold it in Seoul in consideration of the importance of the Korean market,” adding, “Together with Season SS11, we hope to directly introduce Hunters to a new direction and a further-evolved gameplay experience.”
