Torchlight 3 will still have online and offline game play, however offline characters cannot be brought online. It is developed by American studio Echtra Games and published by Perfect World Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in October 2020. The change came after an internal discussion within the developer resulting in the original 2019 release date being postponed and the step away from a free-to-play aspect. Torchlight III (formerly Torchlight Frontiers) is an action role-playing game and the third game in the Torchlight series. Originally an MMO called Torchlight Frontiers, Torchlight 3 was announced early in 2020 as the game's direction was changed back into a more familiar Torchlight experience.
