The Cursed Captain Summoner Class Arrives In Torchlight 3 Next Week

Torchlight 3 will be getting its first full summoner class when the multiplayer ARPG’s spring update rolls out next week. The new class, called the Cursed Captain, is a ghostly pirate stuck in limbo with the ability to summon a crew of spectral buccaneers.

“Anchored in a state between life and death, the Cursed Captain remains true to its adventurous spirit. As an experienced captain of the seas, this corporeal spectre can summon a ghostly crew of swashbucklers, and use the tools of the piracy trade to tackle combatants. The Cursed Captain utilizes their own unique resource, Doubloons, which are collected mid-combat from monsters and treasures. In addition to the Cursed Captain’s new class-specific weapon (the cannon), its attire also includes a new class-specific armor type – capes.”

The spring update will also introduce over 40 new pets, pet UI changes, quality-of-life improvements, and instance resetting. A specific date for the update’s release has yet to be announced, but you can check out the Cursed Captain in the teaser video below while we’re waiting on news from Echtra Games.
