Torchligh 3 Relic Revamp Update Is Now Live, Servers Wiped

The promised Relic System revamp is now live in Torchlight 3 as of today. The Relic Subclass update is the last major Early Access update for the fantasy MMOARPG and introduces a new and improved Relics system which includes a new Relic skill tree, five powerful Relics with reworked Relic Activation skills. The update also adds additional skill slots as requested by the community. Players now have nine skills slots with full controller support.

According to the official press release, the new Relics System gives players a wider range of options to build their characters and customize them to fit their preferred playing styles. After selecting a class, players will then be asked to choose a unique Relic which will give them access to a powerful subset of active and passive skills. Once a Relic is chosen, it becomes a permanent part of the character so choose wisely.

““When we first launched Torchlight III into Steam Early Access, we received great constructive feedback pertaining to skills, more specifically Relic system skills,” said Echtra Games CEO Max Schaefer. “To make the most accessible and exciting Torchlight adventure yet for all ARPG fans, we’ve been working closely with the community to learn exactly how they’d like their adventure to be expanded on. The Relic Subclass update is a prime example of just that -- as it delivers incredible base gameplay improvements that make hacking and slashing goblins even more fun than ever before.”

The servers have also been wiped alongside the update’s release to make sure that everyone starts off on the same page after a drastic change to the game’s mechanics.
