Torchlight III, the latest chapter in the hack-and-slash dungeon crawler first released in 2009, will be released on Steam, Xbox One and PS4 on Oct. 13 following four months ofSteam early access. A Nintendo Switch release is planned for later this year. All versions will sell for $40.
“The full release of Torchlight III wouldn’t have been possible without all of the incredible work from the entire Echtra team and our excellent community of early access players,” Max Schaefer, CEO of Echtra Games and co-founder of the Torchlight franchise, said in a press release. “We’ve put our heart into this new adventure and it has been awesome getting so much support from players while the game has been in live development. With the significant changes we’ve made throughout Torchlight III’s journey in early access, we have done our best to meaningfully integrate players' feedback as much as possible into the game as we march toward launch.”
Schaefer was a co-designer of Diablo andDiablo II, and Torchlight shares much of the game’s style while using a goofier tone. The game can be played solo offline or cooperatively online with up to four players.
Torchlight III was initially called Torchlight Frontiers and was meant to launch last year as a free-to-play MMO. Set a century after the events ofTorchlight II, the game tasks players with saving the world by exploring and settlinng the wilderness andbuilding fortswhere they can upgrade gear and store their pets. Every version of Torchlight III will have its own unique fairy pet, which can be improved with skills and gear. They’ll help fight enemies but can also be used to take your items back to town to sell when you run low on inventory space.
