Torchlight: Infinite – Twinightmare
Leading the charge is Torchlight's newest hero, Rosa the High Court Chariot. Unlocked by purchasing the Twinightmare Season Pass, she makes for a formidable Hunter with high defensive capabilities, allowing her to survive even the toughest onslaught. When Rosa unleashes her Holy Domain Skill, she will transform into an unstoppable chariot, blazing a path through enemy hordes and afflicting them with a powerful curse. For our other heroes, four new Skills will also be making their way to Torchlight: Infinite this season, including Whirlwind Blade, Lightning Beam, Star Stalker, and Harmonious Field, creating even more ways to customize Hunters as you explore powerful new builds.
Throughout Twinightmare, players will be plunged into the realm of dreams as they explore this season's new gameplay. Dream Lotuses can be found scattered throughout each map in Torchlight: Infinite, and by interacting with them, Hunters have a chance to unleash Good Dreams. These will spawn Dream Monsters that, when defeated, will drop rewards, but there's a perilous twist! Each time Hunters enter a Good Dream in search of prizes; they risk being ambushed by a Nightmare attack – the more loot players accumulate in a Good Dream, the more challenging the Nightmare will be, creating a daring risk/reward dynamic. Only those who overcome and escape the Nightmare will obtain this season's ultimate rewards. To help players with this endeavor, a new Season Talent Panel can be upgraded throughout Twinightmare to improve your chances.
Meanwhile, XD Games is continuing to improve the core Torchlight: Infinite experience with a slew of optimizations and quality-of-life changes. These are aimed at new and experienced players alike, giving the Help Manual a welcome overhaul while also introducing a smoother looting UX and easier ways to quickly share character builds with other players. Alongside the new season, XD Games is bringing festive cheer with an all-new Winter Festival. During the celebrations, players can head to Torchlight Hideout, which will be covered in Ice and snow, creating the perfect festive vibe. During the limited-time Winter Festival Event, Hunters can obtain the exclusive drop – Snowflake – and use it to exchange rewards, including Exclusive Legendary Gear and Avatars, etc.
