Console ports are expected shortly after PS4 and Xbox One were always planned, but maybe Switch is in the mix too after Torchlight II was ported to Nintendo’s system last fall.The Torchlight Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is designed to enhance the education of motion picture students. Torchlight III will be sold on Steam, and it’s tentatively set to launch sometime this summer at an unspecified price. It’s now a “premium” paid-for game, and all in-game microtransactions are being removed. Most crucially, Torchlight III is no longer free-to-play. Progression will be retooled to be more aligned with the previous Torchlight games. Because of this change, Torchlight III can now be played either online or offline.Īlso of note, leveling no longer revolved around combined item score, which served as a solution for scaling players to the level of the people they were playing with. It’s no longer MMO-like, as most combat zones are private areas where cooperative parties can fight alongside each other the only public zones/social spaces are towns. Echtra mentions that Torchlight III now follows a linear act-based structure. Based on this and extensive feedback from our alpha testers, we decided it was time to take the game back to its roots and model it after the classic Torchlight games that ARPG fans have come to love.”Īlongside the rebranding, Torchlight III seemingly drops nearly all the experimentation that Frontiers dabbled in.

Torchlight Frontiers has been renamed Torchlight III, making it the official third main-line game in the series.Įchtra CEO Max Schaefer says “ During development, you often discover what type of product a game was meant to be and we found Torchlight Frontiers was meant to be a true successor to Torchlight I and II. After years of development and alpha testing, developer Echtra Games has reverted back to what fans expected all along. Frontiers would pursue new angles like a free-to-play model, an MMO-like structure, and leveling that focused on aggregate gear and item stats rather than the character.Īll of that was not meant to be. The third Torchlight still leaned into its Diablo-like action RPG sensibilities, but it also marked a departure of sorts from what people expected from another sequel. Torchlight Frontiers took on an unconventional name because it was an unconventional take on the Torchlight series. ‘The true sequel it was always meant to be’
