While PC gamers have grown impatient for Diablo III, Runic Games filled the hole perfectly with Torchlight. The focus on loot gathering and the appealing visual style ensured that the title became a cult success. Successful enough, in fact, to justify a sequel!
Torchlight II has officially been announced, with a release window of Spring 2011. The biggest new feature is online co-op, which should provide a much welcome slice of variety to the game. Fully customizable characters and a new, improved user interface have also been promised.
Torchlight is is an intensely addictive game and news of a sequel is just dandy. Exciting stuff indeed!
