Publisher Perfect World Entertainment and developer Echtra Games have announced the release date for Torchlight III.
The latest in the long-running action RPG series will exit Early Access and launch for Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 13th. A Nintendo Switch version is launching sometime later this year.
“The full release of Torchlight III wouldn’t have been possible without all of the incredible work from the entire Echtra team and our excellent community of Early Access players,” Echtra Games CEO and Torchlight series co-founder Max Schaefer said in a statement. “We’ve put our heart into this new adventure and it has been awesome getting so much support from players while the game has been in live development. With the significant changes we’ve made throughout Torchlight III’s journey in Early Access, we have done our best to meaningfully integrate players’ feedback as much as possible into the game as we march toward launch. Next month, we can’t wait to welcome all players to the Frontier!”
Here’s a rundown on the game:
