Torchlight Frontiers Changes Name: Is Now Torchlight 3


Max Schaefer has announced via Youtube today that Torchlight Frontiers will now be called Torchlight 3. Is that all? Nope.

Torchlight 3 will be ditching the free to play model and will no longer be an MMO. The good news is that the game will be available offline. Even better for you Steam enthusiasts, the game will be shifting its publishing platform from Arc to Steam with current testers to receive a key for further testing.

“Along with this name change comes a major shift in our design approach to Torchlight III. Torchlight III will be released as a premium title. For one box-price, you will own the game and be able to play the way that you want, online or off. Over the past year, we have gathered massive amounts of feedback from our Alpha testers. After reviewing this feedback, discussing with our internal teams, and receiving guidance from our publisher, we determined that this was the best course for the game. This shift helps bring Torchlight back to its roots and makes it the true sequel to Torchlight I & II that it was always meant to be.”

And among the larger updates, horizontal progression is being removed completely; all Frontier-specific levels, gear stats, and scaling has been removed as well. The real money cash shop is gone and players can choose online or offline characters at the creation stage.

[Video] Torchlight Frontiers Shows Off Railmaster Class


All around the world join in, it’s called Torchlight: Frontiers.

The latest Torchlight class on show might be the strangest thing we’ve seen here at MMO Fallout. The Railmaster is a hammer wielding class that adventures with a train companion. The blog post goes into more detail about how the Railmaster came to be, and what it is now. Long story short, you’ll be laying down rails and equipping your little engine with specialty cars to provide an extra whoopin. This is one game that doesn’t look like it’s going to end up a trainwreck.
