Today Runic Games excitedly announced the sequel to their surprise smash hit Torchlight (which we gave high accolades when we reviewed it last year). Highlights of the sequel include co-op play (currently at least 4 player, but possibly more), customizable characters (as opposed to the generic classes available in the first game), a randomized overworld, a new user interface, and a retirement system.
Torchlight is quite possibly the definitive dungeon crawl game. When it launched, Runic Games was a small indie developer who made it a point to communicate with gamers, fans, and the press. Besides making what is basically considered a perfect game, they are just a cool company made up of gamers who haven’t forgotten why we’re all in the business: to have fun.
According to the teaser site, we can expect a PC digital release in spring 2011, with a Mac release shortly afterwards.
