"Torchlight Frontiers" Will Now Be Known As "Torchlight III"

Perfect World Entertainment and Echtra Games announced today that Torchlight Frontiers has changed and will launch as Torchlight III. The game will launch sometime in the Summer of 2020, with a closed alpha kicking off on January 29th. You can read more about the decision to switch the game's name over and continuing the franchise's sequential order from a quote below. But it makes perfect sense as fans were far more curious why the devs were taking any kind of a detour in the first place. We also have a new Torchlight III trailer for you to kick back and enjoy.

"When we started developing Torchlight Frontiers, we were focused on creating a shared-world experience," said Max Schaefer, CEO of Echtra Games and co-founder of the Torchlight franchise. "During development, you often discover what type of product a game was meant to be and we found Torchlight Frontiers was meant to be a true successor to Torchlight I & II. Based on this and extensive feedback from our Alpha testers, we decided it was time to take the game back to its roots and model it after the classic Torchlight games that ARPG fans have come to love. We'd like to thank our dedicated player base for supporting us and providing such insightful feedback during early development."
