XD Entertainment announced on the 16th that its self-developed cross-platform hack-and-slash action game, 'Torchlight: Infinite,' will launch its new season, SS13 'Afterlight,' on July 17.

The SS13 'Afterlight' season centers on new content involving the purification of spirits in the Netherrealm. Players will experience new gameplay mechanics, such as activating 'coffins' found throughout the realm, lighting spirit lamps to eliminate spirits, and escorting funeral processions.

The season emphasizes fast-paced combat and efficient farming by rewarding players with stronger spirits and better rewards the faster they eliminate enemies. Various unpredictable elements, such as golden spirits, special coffins, additional waves, and hidden bosses, ensure a fresh combat experience every time.

The update also introduces a new trait for Selena: 'Dance with the Sea.' This trait focuses on ground skills, allowing players to deploy them while moving. By utilizing multiple red shadows for area-of-effect attacks and combining various ground skills, players can explore new build strategies.

The character progression system is also being expanded. The new 'God of the Underworld' system allows players to enhance bound talents, while the addition of new ground skills and improvements to existing ones offer more build variety. Additionally, a new challenge mode, 'Ascension Trial,' will be added. Players must clear maps in succession within a time limit, tackling various events and bosses to earn rewards such as binding crafting materials and spirit selection chests.

Existing content is also receiving significant improvements. The SS12 season content, 'Lunaria,' will be integrated as permanent content, with adjustments to reduce progression burdens and improve farming efficiency. Various quality-of-life features will also be added, including market price tracking, mapping material presets, bulk settlement of trade profits, and bulk skill upgrades.

Furthermore, graphical quality will be enhanced through a new main city, a visual overhaul of Netherrealm devices, improvements to certain hero appearances, and updated icons for legendary equipment.

Various events will be held to celebrate the season update. Players can obtain a 'Legendary Spirit Selection Package' and a '10-pull Spirit Summon Card' through attendance events, while season goals and the 'Ten Thousand Realms Conquest' event offer limited-edition weapon skins and various growth resources.

'Torchlight: Infinite' SS13 'Afterlight' will be available on July 17. More details can be found on the official website and the Naver Lounge.
