XD Inc. (XD) launched the new SS9 season, 'Wanted', for its hack-and-slash action title Torchlight: Infinite on the 18th.

The 'Wanted' season leans into a crime-themed heist aesthetic, letting players raid Tower Company transports in season-exclusive zones to snag 'Tower Coins', 'Lucky Supplies', and 'Tower Chips'. As the crime level spikes, players face increasingly dangerous bounty missions, eventually infiltrating the central vault for a final boss showdown—a design that clearly prioritizes strategic depth.

The season also introduces a new hero, 'Rosa - Unslullied Blade'. This magical knight excels at battlefield manipulation and debuts the 'Mana Cultivation System'. By accumulating Mithril during combat, the character can shift single-target skills into wide-area attacks, blending magic and swordplay in a rather distinct combat style.

The progression systems have seen a substantial overhaul, too. The newly added 'Tower Sequence' allows players to imbue non-Legendary gear with random stats, while 'Tower Cores' let players tweak or replicate existing gear effects. It is all about crafting your own tactical build, using season-defining effects like 'Momentary Eternity', 'Absolute Order', and 'Cornerstone'.

Furthermore, the talent system has been completely reworked. The branching talent board has expanded from three to four, and the core talent selection has been revamped to significantly boost build variety. With the removal of the 1st and 2nd-tier distinction, designing a build has become far more flexible than before.

With the SS9 season, Torchlight: Infinite aims to layer tactical tension and deeper customization onto its core loop of loot-hunting. You can find more details regarding the SS9 season on the official website.
