From XD Games:
XD Games is thrilled to announce a partnership with Ubisoft, bringing content from the legendary Assassin's Creed franchise to the world of action-RPG, Torchlight: Infinite.
The upcoming Assassin's Creed collaboration event is set to begin in January 2027; more details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
XD Games is also excited to confirm that Torchlight: Infinite players can now dive into the SS14 Tartarus hardcore server, The Unbound, which is returning after its summer debut during SS13 Afterlight.
The SS14 Tartarus Hardcore Server is now live worldwide and, as before, it gives players the chance to risk it all on a fresh run, chasing greater rewards and leaderboard glory under the threat of permadeath.
The Unbound brings back mechanics from prior seasons and adds two major changes to the core Torchlight: Infinite gameplay experience: Move to Cast and Unshackled Destiny.
Move to Cast regularly triggers players’ Core Skill and attempts to fire their Core Spell Skill’s spell burst as they move across the battlefield, meaning players can supercharge their damage output while progressing through maps and levelling up faster than normal.
Unshackled Destiny removes the limits on the number of installed Destinies. While Socket restrictions still apply, this means players can experiment even further with character build options so they can maximise their chances on the battlefield.
The Unbound also adds five more Compasses to the gameplay loop, and each of them can enhance players’ runs in a big way.
Those five Compasses are:
-
Unbound Arcana Compass: Boosts your chances to encounter a Tarot Trial after killing a Boss in Arcana, with each completed Tarot Trial raising the chance of Secret Paths spawning.
-
Unbound Overrealm Compass: Guarantees that your first Bottle Shadow captured in the Overrealm will be Red Quality or better.
-
Unbound Outlaw Compass: Guarantees every Bonus Supply triggers two additional times in relevant content.
-
Unbound Dark Surge Compass: Greatly increases the chances that Dark Surge rewards will roll as Legendary Gear.
-
Unbound Lunaria Compass: Guarantees that players in Lunaria will summon a Scarlet Moon Incantation boss encounter.
A single special compass can be deployed in each map, and all five Compasses can be obtained for free — but interested players should come prepared. They don’t just boost your runs and rewards, they also raise the stakes and make enemies more dangerous.
