Torchlight Infinite Opens Beta Signups

Torchlight Infinite, the newest entry in the much loved ARPG franchise, has just opened registration for closed beta testing.

Due to kick off the action sometime soon, Torchlight Infinite is now accepting sign-ups for the game’s closed beta test. The announcement dropped yesterday, less than a month after the title first appeared on our radar with an initial blog post, and while it looks impressive, it may not be exactly what you expect.

Torchlight Infinite will not follow in the footsteps of Torchlight III, the MMO turned multiplayer downgrade that failed to meet expectations. Instead, developer XD, is intent on bringing the rich lore and vibrant world of Torchlight to mobile devices. Rather than return to the same time, XD will push the series on another 200 years, to a point where Ember is the main source of power for the machinations of man. Automation and magic are intertwined, and it’s up to players to choose how they loot and shoot, hack and slash, or burn everything to the ground.

While there seems to be plenty of Torchlight II’s essence still in the mix, the newly stylized graphics and mobile format are not the only changes you can expect to see. XD are busy building Torchlight Infinite to encourage player creativity. Rather than classes, players can expect a range of heroes, each with their own unique quirks that can be built on and customized using an endless supply of randomly generated loot, as well as a diverse talent system. You’ll be able to check out both of these over on the official developer blogs on TapTap.

If that hasn’t quite convinced you to sign up for closed beta testing, then XD dropped a trailer for the title, which you can watch above. While this news might not satisfy those still reeling from the disappointment of Torchlight III, it seems XD have a definite idea of what they are building, and with titles like Juicy Realm, Sands of Salazar, Another Eden, and Muse Dash already behind them, we’re pretty sure this is worth a look.
