Torchlight: Infinite has just unveiled the details of its highly anticipated Season 8: Sandlord, set to launch on April 17th. This season promises to revolutionize the game with its innovative features, including the introduction of the Cloud Oasis and a complete overhaul of Deep Space.

In Season 8: Sandlord, players will step into a new realm of gameplay with the Cloud Oasis. This feature adds a unique economic layer to Torchlight: Infinite, where players can engage in trading resources, managing workers, and overseeing production lines to build their own aerial empire. It’s a fresh twist on the traditional ARPG grind, offering players a chance to strategize and expand their dominion in the skies.

Thea, a fan-favorite character, returns with an exciting new trait called Blasphemer. This trait replaces her divine abilities with a powerful curse known as Desecration. Starting off weak, Desecration scales significantly, enhancing Erosion damage based on the depletion of her blessing power. This opens up new build possibilities, especially for players who enjoy damage-over-time mechanics and intricate synergies, allowing for devastating AoE explosions and HP-scaling effects.

Endgame content sees a major update with the complete rework of Deep Space. This includes five new stages, expanded maps, and more challenging enemies. Players can now customize their experience with the Probes system, which increases the difficulty level but offers the potential for richer rewards, including Compass chests through the Compass Probe.

The update also introduces a Blending System for crafting belts, allowing players to combine Hero Traits, Talent nodes, and unique affixes into a single item slot. This system enhances build customization, providing deeper strategic options. Additionally, a new boss, Night Slayer – The Wilting Plume, has been added to the Plane Watcher and the 20th floor of Supreme Showdown, challenging players to test their skills against this formidable foe.

To celebrate the launch of Season 8, Torchlight: Infinite is hosting the Sands of Fortune anniversary event from April 17th to May 1st. Players can participate in various tasks to earn Gold Rush Attempts and have a chance to win from a prize pool of $250,000, adding an exciting real-world incentive to the in-game festivities.
