Torchlight: Infinite is preparing for its first major update of 2023, and as part of this update, XD Games has revealed a new hero character named Erika.

Erika will be available when the Blacksail season is released on 12 January. Additionally, XD Games is introducing two new hero traits for Rehan and Moto, which will offer players more options for customizing their play style. Players who pre-register for Torchlight: Infinite’s second season will receive a bundle of in-game rewards.

In the upcoming season of Torchlight: Infinite, players will embark on a journey into the Sea of Void. They will encounter various dangers in these treacherous waters, including the Lord of the Void Sea, the most formidable pirate in the game.

Action RPG fans can expect a lot of new content and features in the Blacksail update for Torchlight: Infinite. The update will introduce new gear to collect and a Hero Relic item slot, providing even more options for customizing and refining character builds.

Below are some highlights of the new features that will be introduced in the upcoming update for Torchlight: Infinite, called Blacksail

New Hero: Cateye Erika

Erika is a Stalker, hailing from the Ichi Tribe. Equipped with dual blades, her first Hero Trait is called “Wind Stalker” which specialises in rapid movement, allowing her to swiftly weave between enemies before delivering a devastating killing blow.

New Hero Trait: Raging Phantom (Rehan)

Get ready to inflict some serious damage. Rehan is the first to gain a brand new Hero Trait. “Raging Phantom” allows the battle-hardened berserker to become one with an Ancestor Spirit who will automatically attack enemies with Rehan’s main skills and annihilate his enemies.

New Hero Trait: Charge Calling (Moto)

Another new Hero Trait coming in the next season is Moto’s “Charge Calling”. Flanked by his platoon of Synthetic Troops, the ingenious commander can now activate their self-destruct protocol to deadly effect, ordering his robotic minions to rush into enemy mobs only to explode seconds later.

Community Event: First Down

XD has also announced a new community event in which streamers will compete to see who can reach Timemark 6 and defeat the Traveller boss the fastest. This is an interactive contest where streamers’ supporters will earn rewards based on the streamer they choose to support. To participate, people just need to enter a streamer’s dedicated code in Torchlight Infinite’s redeem menu page. All supporters will receive 50 Primocrysts as a welcome gift.
