Runic Games, ein Entwicklerstudio das sich aus ehemaligen Blizzard Mitarbeitern gründete, die zu ihrer Zeit Diablo entwickelten, brachten vor einiger Zeit Torchlight raus. Das beliebte Hack’n’Slay Indy-Game bekommt nun ein Kind: Torchlight 2.

Das verwundert die Community, denn bevor Runic heute bekannt gab, dass sie Torchlight im Frühling 2011 herausbringen werden, arbeitete das Studio an der MMO Variante ihres Erstlings – Torchlight. Das Torchlight MMO Projekt wurde jedoch zugunsten von Torchlight 2 auf Eis gelegt.

Hier ein Auszug, um was es in Torchlight 2 geht:

The most exciting new feature of Torchlight II is the multiplayer element. Play with your friends, and use the free peer-to-peer matchmaking service to meet new players of a similar level and interest.
Together players will discover expansive randomized outdoor areas and deep ominous caverns; random instanced and persistent dungeons, a huge variety of all new monsters and villains, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete.
Players journey through the perilous Overworld, enjoying all new weather features, time of day events, and a rich and cunning story to drive gameplay.

Die Features von Torchlight 2:

  • Multiplayer – Play with your friends over a local area network, or over the Internet. A free matchmaking peer-to-peer service lets you make new friends for exciting co-op play.
  • Customizable Characters – Players create and customize a character from one of four classes available and choose an animal companion. Through cosmetic, class, and gender choices, skill path decisions, and the treasures they acquire, each character can be custom-tailored to each player’s needs.
  • Moddability – Torchlight II will release with an updated version of TorchEd, the Torchlight editor. Players have the option to create their own mods, adding even more content to the world. You and your friends can download the same mod and play together!
  • New User Interface – Torchlight II boasts an entirely new, improved user interface, designed to be easier than ever for new players to pick up and play. Thanks to this intuitive interface, players have immediate access to a rich and varied world, with little experience necessary.
  • Overworld Areas – Torchlight II has large randomized overworld areas to explore with weather, time of day cycles, and random events that provide players with even more content to experience.
  • Random Dungeons – Delve into randomly generated dungeons within the game at any time for extra experience and rare loot. Dungeons in Torchlight II have even more branching paths to explore with friends filled with random events, rewards and dangers.
  • Retirement System – Once characters are sufficiently leveled up, they can “retire” and bestow specific benefits and perks onto new characters.
  • Pets – Players choose a pet to accompany them. Pets level up along with the player, and help in battle, learn spells, carry items, and perform a variety of support services.
  • Fishing – Fishing returns in the sequel! Players can take a break from the high-energy pace of adventuring to relax by one of the many fishing holes and see what they can catch. Fish have unique benefits for the player and pet, while a number of other rewards can also be discovered.

Torchlight 2 ist also im Grunde ein aufgemotztes Torchlight 1 mitsamt Multiplayer. Awesome.

Torchlight 2 wird weltweit das erste Mal auf der gamescom 2010 zu sehen sein.
