We look forward to seeing you on the other side, and will certainly keep tabs on Torchlight III. We hope you’ll keep tabs on us in the future, because we’re doing some incredibly exciting things that you’ll be very interested in. Through thick and thin, you gave generously of your time, provided expert and valuable feedback, and made the trip enjoyable and worthwhile for all of us at Echtra. We had ups and downs, but through it all, we learned so much, and a lot of that credit goes to all of you. But more than that, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to all of you who took this journey with us. We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked on it. We absolutely enjoyed our time with Torchlight III, and only hope for the best for the future of the franchise. As a result of this transition, we are moving on to new (and exciting) things, and we will be passing the baton back to our partners at Perfect World. As you may have heard in the news, we were acquired by Zynga back on March 2nd. In short, we feel like this puts Torchlight III in a good place.īut this is also a sad message because it marks the end of Echtra Games’ work on Torchlight III. And very significantly, we’ve improved performance to a meaningful degree on every platform. We’ve killed countless bugs, made several UI fixes and enhancements, and added lots of quality of life improvements. There’s a new contract to play through, new wardrobes and fort props, and significant improvements to every character class.

We’ve also added a ton of new pets, including ferrets, two new types of dogs, stags, glittersprites, and more. The Cursed Captain is an amazing new character class with awesome summoning skills, giant cannons salvaged from ships to blast enemies in the way, and a salty, ghostly personality to match. We are very excited about the Cursed Captain update, and everything it comes with.
