Torchlight: Infinite Is Getting an Assassin’s Creed Crossover in January
XD Games has announced an Assassin’s Creed collaboration for Torchlight: Infinite, with the event planned to begin in January 2027. The studio hasn’t shared specifics yet, so for now there’s no word on which characters, cosmetics, missions, or rewards from Ubisoft’s series will show up in the action RPG.
In the meantime, Torchlight: Infinite players can jump into SS14’s Tartarus hardcore server, The Unbound, which is live worldwide now. The mode is built around fresh starts, stronger rewards, leaderboard chasing, and permadeath, so mistakes carry a much bigger cost than usual.
The Unbound brings back mechanics from earlier seasons and adds two bigger twists to character building and combat. Move to Cast regularly triggers a player’s Core Skill and attempts to fire their Core Spell Skill’s spell burst while moving, making it easier to keep damage flowing while clearing maps. Unshackled Destiny removes the cap on installed Destinies, though Socket restrictions still apply.
SS14 also adds five special Compasses to the loop. Players can use one special Compass per map, and all five can be earned for free, though they also make enemies more dangerous.
- Unbound Arcana Compass increases the chance of encountering a Tarot Trial after killing an Arcana boss, with completed trials improving the odds of Secret Paths appearing.
- Unbound Overrealm Compass guarantees the first Bottle Shadow captured in the Overrealm is Red Quality or better.
- Unbound Outlaw Compass makes every Bonus Supply trigger two extra times in relevant content.
- Unbound Dark Surge Compass greatly improves the chance that Dark Surge rewards roll as Legendary Gear.
- Unbound Lunaria Compass guarantees a Scarlet Moon Incantation boss encounter in Lunaria.
Torchlight: Infinite is available now on PC, iOS, and Android.
