Torchlight III is making the jump to consoles, later this Spring
During the recent Indie World event, Perfect World Entertainment and developers Echtra Games announced that Torchlight III, the sequel to the popular Torchlight II, would be coming to Nintendo Switch later this Spring.
In addition to the Switch, after the event, it was also announced as coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the game is currently in Early Access on PC.
“To bring Torchlight III to the Nintendo Switch has been a top ask from our fans, and we’re thrilled to fulfill this wish,” said Max Schaefer, CEO of Echtra Games and co-founder of the Torchlight franchise. “With Torchlight III being one of the most accessible games in the ARPG genre and an excellent entry point into the Torchlight universe, Torchlight III will be a fun pick-up-and-play adventure on this platform.”
In Torchlight III, it’s been a century since the events of Torchlight II, where the great heroes of old defeated The Dark Alchemist and sealed the Netherlord’s heart inside the Clockwork Core. The heroes brought peace to the world of Novastraia, but now the Ember Empire finds itself on the brink of collapse as it’s under threat of invasion against the Netherim and its allies. To save Novastraia, Torchlight III players will need to gather their wits and brave the frontier in search of fame, glory, and new adventures to become the legends the world needs them to be.
With four distinct hero classes to play as, a home base you can grow and expand, the more that you explore and all new pets you can have join you on your adventure, Torchlight III is set to offer a lot to returning players.
The game has no release date for its console version, just yet, but if you go for the Switch release, you will gain an exclusive pet, the Red Fairy.
