"Torchlight: Infinite Season 8: Sandlord Launches This Month"

Torchlight: Infinite's next chapter, Season 8: Sandlord, is set to launch on April 17th, promising a significant overhaul to the game's mechanics and content. This season introduces the Cloud Oasis, a new area where players can engage in economic gameplay, trading resources, assigning workers, and managing production lines to build their own aerial empire. This innovative feature adds a strategic layer to the traditional action RPG grind, offering players a chance to expand their influence in the skies.

Returning this season is Thea, but with a new twist. Her Blasphemer trait replaces her divine powers with a curse called Desecration. Starting weak, this curse scales powerfully, enhancing Erosion damage inversely to her remaining blessing power. Players can further customize this trait, turning it into area-of-effect explosions or health-scaling effects, making it ideal for those who enjoy damage-over-time mechanics and complex build synergies.

The endgame content in Torchlight: Infinite has also received a major update. Deep Space has been completely revamped, featuring five new stages, expanded maps, and more challenging enemies. A new system called Probes allows players to adjust the risk and reward levels, with each Probe increasing the difficulty but potentially yielding better loot, including Compass chests via the Compass Probe.

Season 8 introduces a Blending System for belt crafting, enabling players to fuse Hero Traits, Talent nodes, and unique affixes into a single item slot. This system offers deeper customization options for character builds. Additionally, a new boss, Night Slayer – The Wilting Plume, has been added to the Plane Watcher and the 20th floor of Supreme Showdown, providing fresh challenges for seasoned players.

Coinciding with the launch of Season 8, the Sands of Fortune anniversary event will run from April 17th to May 1st. Players can complete tasks to earn Gold Rush Attempts and have a chance to win from a $250,000 prize pool.
