Runic Games follow-up to its dungeony, fighty game Torchlight, is coming in 2011. Spring actually, and it's going to be called... Torchlight II.
You may think that it's simply a new game based on an older, but popular IP, put out by Runic. Nooo.
"Torchlight II answers the overwhelming call of our community with an expansive co-op multiplayer experience. With all new character classes, an expansive overworld, new quests, monsters, and lots of new dungeons, Torchlight II finally lets you play with your friends in the world of Torchlight."
Hold up, what happened to the Runic MMO? "We still are going to make the MMO, but it became apparent that Torchlight II was the logical next step for us given the phenomenal enthusiasm of gamers petitioning us for multiplayer", says Runic CEO, Max Schaefer.
Torchlight II debuts at gamescom 2010 in Cologne, Germany August 18-22 2010, and at PAX Prime in Seattle, WA, September 3-5 2010. Gaming enthusiasts will have the opportunity to explore the new features hands-on, and chat directly with the developers.
Torchlight II will launch in Spring 2011, initially as a digital download.
