A hands-on look at Torchlight 2 as it prepares for its fast-approaching launch.
The original Torchlight came out when Diablo III still seemed woefully far away, and more than filled that gaping action-RPG hole with its charming clicking ways. The sequel was once supposed to launch before but it turns out we're all still just as excited for Torchlight II even though Blizzard beat it to the click-punch. Good news! Developer Runic Games has finally announced that it'll launch for PC and Mac on September 20.
Torchlight 2 has been running in stealth mode lately until a recent update from developer Runic Games told fans that the game was in polish mode. A new post offers a comparison on just how much more involved the game will be than the original.
Runic president Travis Baldree has shared a little insight into the development of Torchlight II, and why it's taking longer than some would hope.
If you fancy a gander at the Torchlight II beta, make sure you've signed up for the beta, as heaps more invites are going out for a stress test this weekend.
Undeterred by the launch of the clicking juggernaut that is Diablo III in a fortnight, Runic Games has opened pre-orders for its own action-RPG, the charming Torchlight II. You can slap your $20 down now, or club together with three chums for the $60 four-pack.
A hands-on look at Torchlight 2 with Runic CEO Max Schaefer's thoughts on the environments, classes, and competition with Diablo 3.
Torchlight 2 has been moved out of this calendar year, due to more time needed to polish the game and run a beta test.
Runic Games has announced that Torchlight II will launch at $20, and has revealed the final playable class in the game.
Runic's plans for an Xbox Live Arcade edition of action-RPG sequel Torchlight II are looking a little less certain, as the dev's revealed it would need to be "fairly comprehensively redesigned" to fit within the memory limit.
