Torchlight: Infinite announces new hero and gameplay updates

XD Games announced recently that it was rolling out a new hero and major gameplay updates, as well as a global launch date for its ARPG, Torchlight: Infinite. The game, which has been in open beta, launches worldwide and free-to-play on May 9 on PC and mobile. Its new season, hero included, launches at the same time as the game itself.

The new hero is a bomb-based character called Escapist Bing, a youthful escape artist. If his character trailer is anything to go by, he can use his bombs for misdirection and concealment as well as damage. In addition to Bing, XD is also rolling out updates to existing hero Thea, including a new Hero Trait called Divine Realm.
