Torchlight 2 release date: 20th September!

It has been a long time since we last heard about Torchlight 2 - the sequel to Runic Games' Action-RPG Torchlight. In development since before the release of the first game back in 2009, Torchlight 2 was set to expand on everything - a bigger, wider world, day and night and weather cycles, new classes and multiplayer - including LAN based and online Multiplayer. The sequel keeps many of the things people loved about the first game, including Pets and Fishing. The silence is probably because Runic have had their heads down busily working towards releasing the game - and it has paid off, as at PAX Prime on the weekend they announced the release date - September 20th, 2012! That's in less than three weeks guys!

To celebrate the release date announcement, Runic Games have a new trailer showing off the game, which you can watch embedded below or in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course. Are you looking forward to Torchlight 2? Had you forgotten it was coming out like I did? I went to pre-order it earlier today, only to find out I already did so at some point in the past - if Steam hadn't told me I'd now have two copies. I'm not certain if that speaks to Torchlight 2's radio silence or my own rapidly failing mind though. Which do you think it is? Let us know in the comments below!
