Torchlight Frontier Returns to Steam as Torchlight III

Torchlight is coming back in a big way! Torchlight Frontier is going to be named Torchlight III this summer on Steam.

The game comes back to its roots, hacking and slashing your way through endless hordes and the Diablo-like loot system in which in this case is very rewarding - going back to the linear progression and storyline long time Torchlight fans of the first and second entry to the Torchlight series.

The return of the beloved pet

After picking your desired class to play with, you will have to choose your furry companion to accompany you in your grand adventure and help pick up the loot for your tired adventurer hands. Three pets are available on release, and they are a selection indeed, an alpaca, an owl and, a loyal canine retriever.
