In its initial early access state, Torchlight III has two acts, four classes, crafting, pets, and other Torchlight-y things, as well as a fort home base you can customise. It is only playable in multiplayer, mind - a singleplayer offline mode will follow later in early access. This dev post explains a lot more about its current state. The plan is for early access to last “at least a few months” while they finish the endgame, add offline, and generally polish. Torchlight 3 is out now on Steam Early Access for £23.79/€29.99/$29.99. Be warned: quite a few folks are complaining that the servers are busted right now. Still waiting on that offline mode, then. Runic Games, the creators of Torchlight and the first two games, were shut down by owners Perfect World Entertainment in 2017. Torchlight 3 devs Echtra Games do have a connection, mind. The studio was founded by Max Schaefer, who worked on the first two Torchlights then bailed a while before Perfect World closed Runic.
