Torchlight III is the successor to the Torchlight I & II, originally developed by Runic Games. This fast-paced dungeon crawler brings fans back to the beloved Torchlight universe to hack and slash their way through a brand new world.
What was once announced as Torchlight: Frontiers is now known as Torchlight III, the true successor to the Torchlight I and II. The studio behind the game, Echtra Games, have planned to release it as a free-to-play spin-off, but they have retooled the title and rebranded it as a premium sequel instead.
We salute this decision, as we're big fans of the Torchlight series, mainly because of its fast-paced gameplay and colorful art design. It is like a happy version of Diablo.
According to the founder of Echtra Games, the change from the free-to-play spin-off to full sequel came about through a combination of the natural development process and feedback from Torchlight: Frontiers alpha testers.
After a couple of years in the Early-Access on PC, the torch is about to kindle on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, with the Nintendo Switch version getting released later on.
Every platform will get exclusive fairy-pets, well, the same pet just in a different color.
