A new look at Torchlight III shows off how we are going to build our own hub in this Torchlight all in the way we wish to play our characters out there
Just in case you thought that Torchlight III might be missing the fun of building your own base in the game, you can sit back and relax knowing there is a feature coming to do just that. Just in case you needed that in there when Echtra Games launched the game later this year on the PC. It could be something that Torchlight could be pining for right now and they will not be let down. More so, when they get to see that there will be many options to make the base as you wish and fit the style of play you are going for. At least the style of character you are aiming to be too if you want to be an “evil” being instead of a wholesome one in the world. Video games are here to let us live out our fantasies and not force us to always be the noble person after all.
As you will see in the latest trailer, Torchlight III will offer up our first fort to build about the time of Act I in the game. After you have cleared out an area filled with goblins. Then you can start decorating your new fort with their skulls and bodies to ward off invaders and give you something to shoot flaming arrows at. That or you could go with a nice little doggy and some solid walls running all over the area without the dead everywhere. I am going to guess there will be some kind of a mix between the two here too. I guess we will know more when Torchlight III drops on us or we get a further detailed gameplay breakdown to enjoy. For now, have a look at the new video here and see just about what could be coming to the game.
Torchlight III — Your Fort Your Way
Perfect World Entertainment and Echtra Games are excited to share a first look at the new Forts system in Torchlight III, the highly anticipated successor to the beloved Torchlight series. While the upcoming ARPG builds on the familiar hack’n’slash combat and mechanics fans loved about the original series, it also includes brand new features for adventurers to explore, starting with the introduction of Forts. When Torchlight III releases on PC later this year, players will have the opportunity to build and customize their very own fortress on the frontier. Forts allow each adventurer to leave their personal mark on the world, as these structures can be personalized and adorned with treasures that have been crafted or earned through combat. Forts also serve as an important hub where players can meet up with friends, progress their characters, plus swap out skills and entire armor sets.
All forts will be available and ready to customize in early Act 1, right after adventurers have cleared out a mob of attacking goblins. For an introduction to how the Forts System works in Torchlight III, check out latest blog from the Echtra dev team.
Torchlight III is the latest successor to the ARPG cult classics, Torchlight I and II, originally developed by Runic Games. This fast-paced dungeon crawler brings fans back to the beloved Torchlight universe to hack and slash their way through a brand new world filled with hordes of goblins, undead, and other dangerous Netherim creatures. Adventurers can party up with friends or venture into the vast wilderness alone, where they will find loot, explore dungeons, collect epic gear, and build their very own fort to show off to the world. Torchlight III features four unique hero classes (Dusk Mage, Forged, Railmaster, and Sharpshooter), plus a myriad of new and familiar combat pets to help players fight their way to fame and glory.
Are you excited to see that Torchlight III will have this feature mixed in or would you rather just be out killing things in the world? Will you go the eviler route or will you try to go down a good path? Will any of this play into the larger aspect of the story or will it all be in our own head as we continue down the path set forth by the developers? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all. For more on Torchlight III, be sure to keep checking in here. We will keep all of the information flowing out to you as best we can.
