Torchlight Infinite Announced For Mobile, Closed Beta Signups And Pre-Registration Now Open
Chinese video game company XD Games has opened closed beta signups and pre-registration for a new Torchlight mobile spinoff titled Torchlight Infinite. The free-to-play mobile game is set 200 years after the events of Torchlight 2, bypassing the Torchlight 3 timeline.
“In the era of Ember Technology, 200 years since the events of Torchlight II, humans have resorted to Ember as the main source of power for machinery operation and magic practices. Behind the facade of a prosperous civilization, the corrupting influence of Ember is beginning to wreak havoc on the land and the lives that depend on it.
As civilization faces unprecedented crisis, an elite task force of fighters emerges. Through persistence and perseverance, they prevail in the face of darkness – they are Torchlight. Each member of Torchlight carries with them incredible strength and unique powers as they embark on an epic quest to defeat evil forces and achieve salvation.”
The Infinite in the title refers to the game’s open-ended hero customization system. Players will apparently be given a whole lot of freedom in creating builds for their characters using 24 talent trees with a large variety of skills to choose from. Talents will also scale progressively with a player’s character and will still be useful from the moment they acquire them all the way up to the endgame.
A release date for Torchlight Infinite has yet to be announced, but XD confirms that, aside from Android and iOS, the game will also be coming to other platforms in the future. Interested players, can now signup for the closed beta on the official site.
