Dark Surge Season Torchlight Infinite

Dark Surge Season

Out of the Aember, the Aemberons were born. The sudden outburst of Aemberons has formed an aggressive “Dark Surge”. Hunters, go and find the Tidemaster’s Lair to stop him.

Dark Surge Season 1 End Date

The end date of Dark Surge S1 Season is January 12, 2023, and the new season is also scheduled to start in January. All your unlocked heroes, hero traits, Pactspirits, and appearances will carry over to the next season. They count as the shared assets of your account, so they can be used by all characters you create in the same account. However, this only applies when they are on the same server. For example, all characters created on the US server can only use assets of the account that are on the US server. Other things like Season Passes and Auction Booth Tabs will expire at the end of the season and will need to be repurchased in the new season. The characters of the Incoming Dark Surge season will be transferred to the permanent server after the new season starts. Hunters will need to create a new character to participate in the challenges of the new season.

We're working hard on the next season's content, and the theme is "pirates" and "plunder" related. We will launch at least one new hero and two new traits for existing heroes, as well as a batch of new skills and Legendary gears.

At the same time, we'll also bring many optimizations to the game. We've received a lot of feedback about the UI of the PC version and have heard everyone's strong desire for the support of controllers. We'll do our best to implement these two improvements in the next season. However, about adding a multiplayer mode, it will still take some time for us to develop.
