First look at the layout and art
The Titans created the world, each claiming a domain and willing it into their own image. Then they birthed the gods, who grew restless. The gods rebelled and struck down the Titans. Their bones became mountains, their blood carved canyons. For centuries, both mortals and the gods believed the Titans vanquished. But now the Titans rise again. Colossal, living maelstroms that stride across the land, bringing ruin wherever they roam.
You are one of the few brave (or foolish) enough to stand against them. To climb their impossible heights. To strike at their hidden weaknesses. To save the cities depending on you. You must fell the Titans, or all is lost.

A quick note from Torchlight publisher, Geoff Skinner: Hi, I’m Geoff, founder of Torchlight Creative. My favorite Transformer is Unicron, my favorite Marvel villain is Galactus. Godzilla? Attack on Titan? God of War? Inhumanoids? YES, PLEASE, GIVE ME MORE! I've always loved the idea of fighting against what seems to be unbeatable, insurmountable, and overwhelming odds. After years in the gaming industry, I’m proud to lauch Torchlight's first RPG project: Titanbound. It's a game of colossal battles, desperate climbs, and unforgettable stories that's been on my mind for over a decade, and it's humbling to see it come to life. I hope you'll join us on our Titan hunt!
