Torchlight: Infinite is set to collide with Ubisoft’s iconic Assassin’s Creed franchise in a major crossover event scheduled to launch in January 2027. Announced by developer and publisher XD Games, the upcoming collaboration will bring legendary elements from the stealth-action series into the fast-paced action-RPG, with further gameplay and reward details promised over the coming weeks.
Alongside the crossover reveal, XD Games has officially opened the doors to the SS14 Tartarus Hardcore Server, The Unbound, which is live worldwide right now across PC, iOS, and Android. Returning following its summer debut during SS13 Afterlight, the high-stakes seasonal mode challenges veteran players to embark on a fresh run where greater loot and leaderboard glory come under the constant threat of permadeath.
The Unbound revives popular mechanics from previous seasons while introducing two transformative gameplay systems designed to accelerate combat and character customisation. Move to Cast automatically triggers a player’s Core Skill and attempts to unleash their Core Spell Skill’s spell burst simply by moving across the battlefield, enabling rapid map progression and faster levelling. Meanwhile, Unshackled Destiny removes the cap on installed Destinies—while retaining Socket rules—giving players unprecedented freedom to experiment with daring character builds.
Adding further depth to every expedition, The Unbound introduces five free, high-risk Compasses that dramatically alter map encounters and loot pools. Players can deploy one special Compass per map, choosing between the Unbound Arcana Compass for increased Tarot Trials, the Unbound Overrealm Compass for guaranteed Red Quality Bottle Shadows, the Unbound Outlaw Compass for triple Bonus Supply triggers, the Unbound Dark Surge Compass for higher Legendary Gear drop rates, and the Unbound Lunaria Compass to summon a guaranteed Scarlet Moon Incantation boss fight. While each Compass supercharges potential rewards, they simultaneously elevate enemy danger, demanding careful preparation from anyone daring enough to enter the fray.
