Shanghai, China — April 17, 2025 | Today marks the official launch of Sandlord, the latest and most expansive season of Torchlight: Infinite yet! The ARPG community can now dive into a bold new chapter where wealth, strategy, and sky-high ambition take center stage.
Loot harder and manage smarter with Sandlord’s brand-new seasonal mechanic centered around Cloud Oasis - a floating empire players build, expand, and optimize. Defeat enemies in the Netherrealm to earn resources, then commandeer a workforce across five unique professions to unlock new trade routes, bonuses, and seasonal rewards. This is Torchlight reimagined—with tactical progression, economic strategy, and massive loot potential.
Meet the desecrated version of Thea, a divine channeler who has embraced darkness. Her new trait, Blasphemer, uses Desecration to deal escalating Erosion Damage that can erupt into devastating AoE when enemies fall. The lower her blessings, the stronger her curse becomes—making her a deadly choice for damage-over-time enthusiasts and elite-hunting specialists.
The Sandlord season also introduces a complete overhaul of the Deep Space region within the Netherrealm. Players can now explore five massive new stages, each designed with increased monster density and significantly more intense survival challenges. To raise the stakes, a new reward modifier item called Probes has been added. These function similarly to Compasses but come with their own dedicated slot, offering powerful reward boosts—while also making monsters harder to kill, adding a fresh layer of strategy and risk to each run.
Multiple fresh Legendary Stages join the game this season, adding exciting twists to endgame progression. These rare encounters offer unique gameplay experiences and valuable loot.
In the Abyssal Vault, there are no monsters—just an enormous trove of Mystery Chests waiting to be claimed. Meanwhile, the Sea of Rites is swarming with non-aggressive Goblins. Defeat them, and there's a chance to summon a powerful hidden boss, creating high-stakes moments filled with surprise and reward. And, in the Supreme Showdown, players and bosses alike can now wield the Golden Gaze mechanic — turning enemies into treasure with a single strike.
To celebrate Torchlight: Infinite’s second anniversary, from tomorrow, players can participate in the limited-time Sands of Fortune event. By completing in-game tasks, players earn draw attempts for a shot at winning from a $250,000 cash prize pool.
Sands of Fortune will run from April 17th 7PM PDT through to May 1st 2025, during which time players can enter for a chance to win on the Torchlight website. SS8 Sandlord is now live across all platforms, so log in, start your journey, and rise through the skies to become the one true Sandlord.
