XD Games is thrilled to announce that Vorax – the latest Torchlight: Infinite season – is now available worldwide on PC and mobile.
Watch the Torchlight: Infinite Season Preview below:
Vorax brings a plethora of additions to Torchlight: Infinite, including enemy monsters that have become infected with Vorax Syndrome. Players can collect this season’s currency, Vorax Substance, from these monsters once they’re defeated. Players can then access the Surgical Preparation menu, wherein monster rarity, quantity and – most importantly – activity can be increased using Vorax Substance. Loot drops scale depending on the total activity across all monster types, encouraging players to face off with more powerful monsters in order to get better rewards.
Other ways to bag higher value loot include taking on the large, fast, and rare invading enemy Scavengers. If players want elites and Scavengers to interrupt their runs more often, they can activate the difficulty-increasing Scalpels. These enhancers don’t consume Compass slots, and give players more opportunity to earn high-tier rewards.
A new crafting system called Grafting has also come to Torchlight: Infinite. This is the most flexible crafting system the game has ever seen, allowing players to combine stats that usually can’t exist on the same item. During the season, players can find Vorax Limbs, which are crafting bases that come with unique stats, and they can create gear that ignores attribute pools. Additionally, legendary gear can now be broken down, and its unique power can be extracted into a Core Organ mod, which can be grafted onto gear of the player’s choosing. Up to two legendary mods, with no slot restrictions, can be grafted onto a single piece of gear.

This update also adds a new Hero trait for Cateye Erika called Vendetta’s Sting. This trait is all about speed, dashing around – and through – enemies, dealing melee damage while in constant motion. Players more interested in spellcasters can avail of the new Tangle mechanic available to those heroes. Tangle involves casting a parasite-like spell that attaches itself to an enemy, dealing damage over and over for a duration of time.
A whole host of quality of life improvements are also included in this update. The UI has been tweaked to improve readability: the main interface, the trade house, the inventory, the netherrealm, and the skill system all look cleaner and sharper now, while equipment icons have been redesigned for visual clarity. In addition to all that, heroes Rehan, Carino and Gemma have had their models revamped. Likewise, a number of monster models have been altered, and combat effects overhauled, in order to provide the most spectacular visual feedback possible in Torchlight: Infinite.

Torchlight: Infinite is available now on PC, iOS, and Android.
