Press release:
Shanghai, China — April 15, 2024.
“Torchlight: Infinite“, the beloved action-packed RPG game, unveiled a brand new season this weekend, mysteriously titled ‘Whispering Mist’. But what awaits players in the mists and will they be able to make it back alive?

Hosted by XD Games, Saturday’s livestream revealed more about this Cthulu-style season and its roguelike gameplay. Players will step into the mists, exploring previously undiscovered areas, laying their hands on unique power-ups and accepting challenges to earn incredible rewards — if they’re brave enough to face what lurks at the edge of sight.

The home of this eerie roguelike adventure is Mistville — a once quaint town now engulfed by a mysterious fog. Encountering Mistville Residents, players put themselves at risk of infection as they step into the Netherrealm. Once their roguelike adventure is complete, Mistville holds plenty more secrets to uncover.

Treading these cobbled streets not as hunters, but as detectives, players can use lanterns to navigate and manage their Sanity while uncovering hidden secrets within the bones of this nightmarish town. They can throw open the doors of the Sanatorium, but beware, Mist Monsters lay in wait.

Clock Tower challenges offer rewards and Activation Mediums, triggering new abilities and synergies with skills. With enhanced Deduction Records and Activation Mediums, players delve deeper into Mistville’s mysteries, while adjustments to skill slots and legendary gear offer strategic depth. Resistance changes and new Ember types provide further customization, promising an exhilarating journey into the mind-bending depths of Mistville.

Meet Cateye Erika’s Electrifying Transformation

In SS4, our beloved character Cateye Erika takes center stage with an electrifying new hero trait. Witness her transformation into Lightning Shadow as she harnesses the power of Ember tech, gaining lightning-fast movement and devastating damage capabilities. Beware, for with great power comes great vulnerability. Assist Erika in her thrilling adventures as she navigates through challenges both electrifying and perilous!

By unlocking the Golden Season Pass, hunters can gain access to all heroes in the current season. This includes permanent usage rights of Erika’s new hero trait – Lightning Shadow, advanced auto loot, exclusive portrait frames, new teleport effects, and new back accessories will also be unlocked as progress is made.

Exciting Gameplay Updates

This season introduces the Divine Might Trials, a brand new endgame mode. Players must collect Divine Might Emblems from the Six Gods before entering into these deadly trials to prove their worth. Upon completion, players are rewarded with Divine Might Luminous Stones, used to exchange for valuable items at the Spacetime Wanderer’s [Gifts from the Gods]. The Heartless Bounty content is integrated into these rewards, replacing the Desire Bead from the Evil Desire Cube. Additionally, hunters can encounter the Dream Lotus in the Netherrealm, reliving Season 2’s Twinightmare gameplay to earn rewards and utilize Trait Cards and Confusion Cards to enhance their experience.
