Torchlight 3 Is Out Now On Steam Early Access

Torchlight 3 has had quite a transformation since its time as Torchlight Frontiers, and players will finally be able to get their hands on the retooled action-RPG today. Announced during the PC Gaming Show, Torchlight 3 has entered Steam's Early Access program on PC, and it's available at a discounted $30 USD price.

The first two acts of Torchlight 3 will be available initially, including boss battles, over 100,000 pieces of loot, and randomly generated environments. The amount of content will continue to increase as development on the game progresses.

"Player feedback is incredibly important to us, and we look forward to working with the community as we continue to expand Torchlight 3 to make it the best Torchlight title yet," said Torchlight co-founder and Echtra Games CEO Max Schaefer in the announcement.

The Torchlight series was originally developed by Runic Games. However, the studio went under in 2017. Its final game, Hob, released later that year and ultimately came to Nintendo Switch in 2019.

Torchlight 3 features single-player and cooperative options, as well as a buildable and upgradeable fort, pets, customizable characters with four classes, and powerful relics. You'll sometimes come across other people's forts and make use of their enchanting tables and recipes to make things you haven't unlocked yet.

The classes--Dusk Mage, Forged, Railmaster, and Sharpshooter--differ wildly in abilities so there are options for every type of player. While the Railmaster can act as a melee powerhouse and take punishment, the Forged robot class can dish out explosive damage. Both the Sharpshooter and Dusk Mage excel at ranged and magical attacks, too, and the pets can give you an edge in battle.
