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

Torchlight: Infinite's next chapter, Season 8: Sandlord, is set to launch on April 17th, promising an exciting overhaul to the game. This season introduces a fresh take on gameplay with the floating cities of the Cloud Oasis, where players can engage in economic management. It's not just about battling monsters anymore; you're tasked with building an empire in the skies through trading resources, assigning workers, and managing production lines to establish your aerial stronghold.

Returning with a new twist is Thea, who now wields the Blasphemer trait. She trades her divine powers for the curse of Desecration, which starts off weak but scales powerfully, enhancing Erosion damage as her blessing power diminishes. This mechanic is ideal for players who enjoy damage-over-time strategies and complex build synergies, allowing for area-of-effect explosions or health-scaling effects.

The endgame content is also receiving significant updates. Deep Space has been completely revamped, featuring five new stages, expanded maps, and more challenging enemies. A new system called Probes lets players adjust the level of risk and reward, with higher challenges potentially yielding better loot, including Compass chests.

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, offering deeper build customization. Additionally, a new boss, Night Slayer – The Wilting Plume, joins the fray in Plane Watcher and on the 20th floor of Supreme Showdown.

To celebrate the launch, 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.
