Torchlight 2 launching September 20
The original Torchlight came out when Diablo III still seemed woefully far away, and more than filled that gaping action-RPG hole with its charming clicking ways. The sequel was once supposed to launch before but it turns out we're all still just as excited for Torchlight II even though Blizzard beat it to the click-punch. Good news! Developer Runic Games has finally announced that it'll launch for PC and Mac on September 20.

You can pre-order Torchlight II from Gamefly, Steam and the other usual places for $20, with a free copy of the original thrown in as a bonus. Alternatively, $60 four-packs are floating around, saving you $20 if you club together with some chums, because surely you own Torchlight by now.
The sequel introduces online co-op, above-ground sections, and loads more monsters, skills, items, unique areas, music, and other things one expects from an action-RPG.
Runic will live-streaming a little discussion about the release date, and showing off a new trailer, at 9am Pacific today if you want to see more.

Huzzah!

click-punch made me think of kick-punch and that's always a good thing.
Interesting that they're giving away TL1 with it too, those extra gifts will probably help out marketing in a big way though I'm sure.-
Also, directly below the article it says that TL2 is still scheduled to release on July 31 of 2011.... should probably get that fixed.
-
haha. yes. yes it does. awesome.

That's because it's the worst damn thing in the world and I hate it. Pinky-swear I've personally entered the correct date into our database, it simply hasn't carried over. Top Men are looking into this.

Well so long as TOP MEN are working on it I can't really ask for more now can I?

Clear the caches!

BL2 on September 18. TL2 on September 20. How am I supposed to play two games at once? Howww???

pretty much. its great that its finally coming out and all but this is now going to become one of those games that i own (i pre-purchased it some time last year) and probably never play... or at least, dont play for months or years after release. there were several points in the last 12 months that i would have played the hell out of it... pretty much any time before BF3 or after i got burned out on BF3. but now? between BL2 and GW2, its going to be a good long while before im ready to play something else. presuming BL2 eats another 500 hours of my available gaming time, anyway.
its unfortunate, but i think they missed their prime window of opportunity for this game for a lot of people.-

Pantsburgh, simply...you dont! BL2 > TL 2, I am very sorry to say. I had such high hopes for the sequel, as a reasonable D3 alternative, but alas, it doesn't even look that different from TL1.
