Torchlight
The full release for Torchlight III will be here in October with Torchlight III coming to more systems sometime after it launches
The Early Access is coming to an end for Torchlight III and that means we are going to be seeing a final release date for the game. It has been shaped and crafted by Echtra Games for a bit now and we will soon see it on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC in its full form. All of which will be on October 13th here with Torchlight III coming to the Switch in the future too. Before the end of this year is what is stated but given how this year is going, that could be a crapshoot too. It is what we have to go on for now and it is something to be excited for now.
If you are looking to branch out and give Torchlight III a go on something other than the PC, it looks like each platform will be getting an exclusive Fairy pet depending on which you pick it up on. That is kind of an odd thing to do given that it feels like it will be mostly a skin change for the same fairy here, but if you are looking to drop the $39.99 to get a specific color then you will have that to sift through now. That is if they will not be available via an update later for Torchlight III and thus make this a moot point, but it is a thing.
Perfect World Entertainment and Echtra Games are excited to announce that Torchlight III, the light-hearted and fast-paced dungeon crawler, will exit Steam Early Access and officially launch on Steam, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 13 — and release on Nintendo Switch later this year — for $39.99. Players who have been hacking and slashing their way through the Steam Early Access version of Torchlight III will automatically be granted access to the full version. In addition, all versions of the game will include an exclusive Fairy pet for each platform.
Torchlight III will feature all of Torchlight’s signature mechanics, including satisfying hack-and-slash combat, a charming and vibrant world, online 4-player cooperative multiplayer and offline single-player, and the beloved pet system that captured the hearts of ARPG fans. This grand adventure will also introduce new features, such as three epic acts, unique Relic subclasses, fully customizable forts, a challenging end-game experience “Fazeer Shah’s Dun-Djinn”, the multi-tiered progression system “Contracts” that lets players earn Fame and unlock elite items, along with a myriad of quests and boss battles across randomly-generated areas filled with epic loot drops.
In Torchlight III, it’s been a century since the events of Torchlight II, where the great heroes of old defeated The Dark Alchemist and sealed the Netherlord’s heart inside the Clockwork Core. The heroes brought peace to the world of Novastraia, but now the Ember Empire finds itself on the brink of collapse as it’s under threat of invasion by the Netherim and its allies. To save Novastraia, Torchlight III players will need to gather their wits and brave the frontier in search of fame, glory, and new adventures to become the legends the world needs them to be.
Each version of Torchlight III will come with the following exclusive Fairy pet:
- Steam: Violet Glittersprite
- Xbox One: Verdant Glittersprite
- PlayStation 4: Azure Glittersprite
- Nintendo Switch: Ashen Glittersprite
Are you ready to get more Torchlight in your life here or do you think it might need more time to be perfect? Does it make sense to offer up the different fairies based on the platform or is it odd to you as well? Do you suspect that we will see these on the other platforms at one point or another or will it truly stay exclusive? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all. If there is more to share for Torchlight III, we will have it up on the site for you. Just be sure to keep checking back in for all of that and much more.
