XD Games Unveils Torchlight: Infinite Season 12: Overrealm – A Cosmic Leap Forward

Step through the door into a new adventure

September 29, 2025 – Shanghai, China | XD Games is excited to announce Torchlight: Infinite Season 12: Overrealm, revealed during a thrilling Season Preview livestream. Launching October 10, 2025, at 7:00 PM PDT, this season propels Hunters into a dynamic, multi-layered dimension packed with innovative mechanics, explosive new builds, and a revamped progression system designed to deliver the ultimate ARPG experience. Available free-to-play across PC, iOS, and Android, Overrealm promises endless adventure and loot for veterans and newcomers alike.



Dive into the Overrealm

Overrealm introduces a groundbreaking seasonal mechanic: a series of timed, procedurally generated rifts accessed through mysterious “Doors” in the Netherrealm. Players battle through increasingly challenging layers, filling a Containment Progress bar to unlock deeper rifts with richer rewards. Efficiency is key, as the unforgiving timer demands strategic routing and rapid combat.

Bottled Shadows: Capture Shadows during runs to stack powerful drop bonuses, such as increased Flame Fuel drops, higher-tier Fuel, or additional Matchless Legendary Gear. Stacking identical Shadows amplifies rewards for massive loot explosions.
Overrealm Disturbances: High-risk map mods, like “Resurrection” (respawning monsters with bonus loot) or “Fall” (tentacle clusters spawning enemy waves), test builds while boosting rewards.
Containment Dossier: Earn Abnormal Gaze currency to unlock permanent upgrades, including a Returning Anchor teleporter, Reverse Clocks to extend timers, and rare encounters like the loot-heavy Floating Skull or the elusive “Doorhunter” boss.

Bing’s New Trait: Creative Genius

Escapist Bing’s new Creative Genius trait transforms him from a chaotic bomber into a tactical spellcaster. Powered by Whimsy and Ingenuity Essences, Bing’s dual Inspiration Machines deliver debuffs and devastating bursts. With extra Trait Points for customization, players can unlock abilities like Super Sonic Protocol for movement speed or Contingency Inspiration Delivery for auto-casting chaos, creating one of the game’s most versatile high-damage builds.



Ethereal Prism: Redefining Talent Builds

The Ethereal Prism system revolutionizes character progression. Socketable into Advancement Talent Panels, Prisms supercharge or replace Main Talents with game-changing effects, such as equipping a shield with two-handed weapons (Extreme Power) or enabling Lucky Damage with a risk of skill failure (Fortune’s Flip). A rare Mirror Prism reflects and randomizes talent nodes for astronomical power potential. Strategic placement and calibration add layers of customization, letting players craft truly unique builds.

Combo Skills: A Fresh Combat Rhythm

Overrealm debuts Combo Skills, a fighting game-inspired system with Starters and Finishers. Crescent Slash offers rapid flurries and shockwave Finishers, while Serpent Beam chains fire beams into a high-damage nuke. New Legendary gear like Vajra Handguards (introducing the Infiltration stat) and Bodhi Girdle support Combo builds, alongside Kismets like Tiger’s Chain for enemy-pulling mayhem.

New Mechanics and Legendary Gear

Season 12 introduces universal mechanics to enhance combat:

Buffs: Hasten (speed boost), Fortitude (defensive Hardened effects), and Aggression (attack-focused).
Debuffs: Frail (increased spell damage taken), Torment (amplified DoT), and Infiltration (elemental debuffs with secondary effects like reduced enemy skill AoE).
Legendary Gear: Highlights include Verdant Steps (Spirit Magus defenses), Kragol’s Roar (Warcry cooldowns) and Demons’ Touch (off-hand stat scaling).

Progression and Quality-of-Life Overhauls

Responding to community feedback, Overrealm smooths out progression:

Crafting: Halved Ember costs for T1 affixes on non-Priceless gear.
Curse Unlocks: Tripled Confusing Dreams encounter rates for easier Curse unlocks.
Equipment Levels: Highest-tier weapons lowered from level 88 to 86.
Ailment Defenses: “Immune to X” affixes changed to “Avoid X Elemental Ailment” for flexible stacking.
Trade House: Reduced listing delays, fewer sold items in searches, and real-time commodity pricing.
Corrosion Trading: Mutated Legendary items are no longer bound, enhancing crafting and trading.

Outlaw Goes Core, Aeterna Revamped

The Season 11 Outlaw mechanic becomes permanent with faster Carjack encounters, reduced Escort Bodyguard invincibility, and streamlined Central Vault rewards. The City of Aeterna sees a major overhaul, retiring the complex Soul Candles system in favor of new Ember Rooms and exclusive drops like Kragol’s Roar. A one-season Pactspirit Exchange lets players trade Aeterna Pactspirits for new rewards.

Events and Cosmetics

Project Overrealm Containment brings exciting events:

Anomaly Archive: Daily check-in rewards with up to 10 Battle Pactspirit draws.
Case File: The “Door”: Earn Pactspirit Crystals, a seasonal Drop Pactspirit, and an exclusive weapon skin through Overrealm runs.
Drop Rush: New players get a Legendary Drop Pactspirit and 10 Battle Pact pulls via a 7-day check-in.
Realm Conquest Hour: Tradeable Conquest Insignias from Plane Watchers for Watcher-themed weapon skins.

New Pactspirits include Key of Overrealm (drop duplication) and Squiddle (Spell Burst synergy). Cosmetics feature returning favorites like Savage Shadows at a discount, alongside new Overrealm-themed sets.

What’s Next

“We’ve poured our passion into making Overrealm a season that redefines Torchlight: Infinite,” said Andre Rebelo, Community Manager for Torchlight. “From the layered rift mechanics to the infinite build possibilities with Ethereal Prisms and Combo Skills, this season is about empowering players to forge their own cosmic legacy.”
