Speaking to PCGamer, Max Schaefer announced thatTorchlight Frontierswas not making its original release date. “We have not updated that yet which we probably should,” Schaefer tells the publication. He goes on to say that the 2019 time frame was from over two and a half years ago. The developers don’t have a new release window to announce at this time.
In fact, they don’t have much else to reveal aboutTorchlight Frontiersat all. Schaefer tells PCGamer that they don’t have any “really specific things to say” regarding the game. The team has made some changes toTorchlight Frontiersbut he didn’t elaborate. Schaefer says that “[i]t’s plugging along and it’s getting better every day.“Torchlight Frontiersis still in closed alpha, so no one knows what to expect for the title when it resurfaces. It’s clear that the developers are still working on it, but they don’t really explain the extent as to what is changing, and how much of what was originally revealed in 2018 is still there.
While normally this would sound like ominous news, that is likely not the case forTorchlightFrontiers. TheTorchlightfranchise is still in the public eye, withTorchlight 2 for the Switch releasing just a couple of months ago. The likelihood of the title being abandoned at this point seems low.
However, excited fans shouldn’t expect to hear much aboutTorchlight Frontierssoon. Perhaps more information will be revealed next year.
Torchlight Frontiersis currently in development.
