Considering that one of the biggest hits on Game Pass is Sea of Thieves, it stands to reason that those who enjoy sailing Rare's high seas may want to pop in on a new genre and test their pirating abilities in a whole new way.

#Torchlight 3 classes cursed captain update#

Torchlight 3 is one of the many games available on Xbox Game Pass, allowing curious onlookers who happen to be subscribers a chance to peek whenever the game gets a huge update and try out what's new.

There are also general UI improvements and new fort items to be used in the game's laboratory. Players can now choose from forty new variants, inviting everything from a Stag to a Shiba Inu to accompany them on their adventures. There are updates to the pet system, including a new 'Fur and Fashion' contract, additional pet slots, and new species of companions. Outside of the new class, the Spring update brings several more changes to Torchlight 3. The Cursed Captain can upgrade along either a Cursed or Piracy skill tree, with players getting the choice between more potent ghostly familiars or more explosive powder kegs. The Captain also collects doubloons during combat in order to fuel his skills and can loot capes, a new class of armor that improves his stats. The main attraction is the new Cursed Captain class, a ghostly mid-range pirate class that bowls over enemies with cannonballs and a crew of summoned spirits.

Hopefully, today's Spring update can improve Torchlight 3 for all.

That developer ended up shuttering in 2017 following the release of Hob, an action-oriented venture away from the team's ARPG roots.

One thing worth noting about Torchlight 3 is that it's the first game in the series not created by the series creators at Runic Games.
