Infinite Realms Launch Trailer

Feature Overview

Slash mobs with magic and race across parkour challenges in quick session-based runs. Meet up with other players in the city to upgrade your gear or just hangout and shoot hoops before your next run! Sessions stays fresh with daily and weekly content rotations.

City Plaza: The central hub for Infinite Realms. You can talk to a familiar NPC near the center to get some guidance. There are also several touchstones to help you learn about the new mechanics. Around the city you'll find agent rank challenges, vendors, gear upgrade stations, and hangout areas.

Fractured Worlds: Beyond the Iron, Silver, and Pandowl gates, different floating worlds await. The more mobs you bring down while on your run, the richer the rewards! Pandowl gate content will rotate daily while the Iron and Silver gate content rotates roughly on a weekly basis. Behind the Scenes: Procedural Magic Behind Infinite Realms

Revamped Player Abilities: With a flick of your wrist, unleash Tempest Blades, a razor-sharp disk made of pure energy. Unlock the fire and ice modifiers in your skill tree for more powerful strikes.

As you level up, you’ll unlock more modifiers and gesture abilities. Channel your essence to push away mobs, steer a magical spear or throw orbs of magic.

Parkour: Jump, rail grind, slide, and climb your way around sessions.

Shared XP and Level Scaling: In each session run XP is shared among the group. No need to worry if you're a different level from your groupmates, mob difficulty will scale uniquely to you.

Release Notes

• The new Zennies shop in the city is currently available on Meta. This will become available for Steam and PS VR2 players at a later time (TBA).

• You can receive a one-time free level boost equivalent to your highest-level character in TLC. On first-load in on a new character in Infinite Realms you'll get a pop up for a level boost. Please note: accepting the offer applies the boosting to that character only and cannot be used again; declining the offer means it won't be available for that character in the future. The pop-up will reappear on your next new character.
• Once you accept the level boost, you'll also have new level appropriate gear in your inventory.
• As an extra thank you, a set of premium cosmetic will be available in your Cosmetics inventory on your IR characters. This is separate from the level boost.
