Torchlight 2 Release Date: 20 September

Posted by Soulskill on from the mere-weeks dept.

Cheeze ball writes "Due to the level of support provided by their forums community, Runic Games has released the Torchlight 2 release date early. Torchlight 2 will be available on 20 September 2012. The 'official' announcement is tomorrow at PAX, where the game is available for play. The forums have been very supportive of the dev team, primarily because of the team's responsiveness in posting weekly updates and the way the beta test was conducted. This support prompted Runic to inform its forum community first." If you're curious how the game is shaping up, Eurogamer has a thorough preview from a few months ago.

    Guys, guys, did you hear?! Diablo 3 is finally getting released on September 20th!

    Not sure what that weird tech demo was that Blizzard released a few months ago though...

    Torchlight was fun, though not groundbreaking. I'll definitely be giving Torchlight 2 a go.

    They get extra credit for being an "indie" game. Sort of like a participation trophy, I guess.

    It was a good game, and just about worth the price. That's a lot more than you can say about most AAA titles these days.

    They get extra credit for being the next Diablo like game from the actual Diablo creators.

    I'm hoping the price for TL1 will drop. I don't mind being a gen behind, especially if I can get it at a great price.

    If you pre-order TL2 on Steam, you get TL1 for free. Unless of course, this was some short-term deal when I pre-ordered. I'm not at home now so I can't check.

    Damn. Torchlight 2, Borderlands 2, and Guild Wars 2.

    It's going to be Wallet Massacre 2 - the first being the steam summer sale.
