Torchlight 2 Announced, Features Multiplayer! - briefly
(hx) 01:18 AM CEST - Aug,05 2010 - Post a comment / read (8)
Runic Games revealed today that they're hard at work on Torchlight 2, a sequel to action RPG Torchlight. The big change this time out for the dungeon crawler will be online co-op. Runic Games notes that the game will feature a free peer-to-peer matchmaking service to 'meet new players of a similar level and interest.' And this time around, the world will include 'expansive' randomized outdoor environments -- don't worry, the dungeons are still there -- along with 'random instanced and persistent dungeons.' Expect new monsters, weather effects, a new story and LOOT!
- Multi-player - 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.
The initial release will be on PC in Spring 2011 with a Mac version following at an undisclosed date. No console iterations are currently planned. Torchlight 2 will be playable at GamesCom later this month in Germany and at PAX Prime (Seattle) in September.

Yeah this is great news. I don't care much about Diablo, this is by far more interesting!

In a press release, Runic Games’ CEO Max Schaefer assured fans that a planned Torchlight MMO is still in the works. “We are still going to make the MMO,” he said, “but it became apparent that Torchlight II was the logical next step for us given the phenomenal enthusiasm of gamers petitioning us for multiplayer.”


I'm glad they made that change, Torchlight 2 is sounding much better looking forward to it. And more openworld/overworld outside environments to explorer, "Dungeons in Torchlight II have even more branching paths " good...I thought the dungeon levels in TC were too linear and samey.

Ya it was very repetitive. My character became so strong nothing was a match for me anymore. Thanks to someone on these forums I found out how to unlock certain things in the game and continue ranking up. It gave me quite a few extra weeks of enjoyment of the first game. TY to whoever that was, hx? I think.

its great there adding all of this, me and 5 others play this game but we cant play together. we were just saying we wanted coop and poof this story comes out, great news.

This is perfect! Who needs Diablo 3 now, it can go die in a fire! :D

psolord(10:44 AM CEST - Aug,05 2010 )
Awesome news indeed. I am glad to see new entries in the gaming arena, from little companies that have high hopes, high capabilities and offer good gaming experience at great prices.

No I will not say to Diablo 3 to go ahead and die, heheh. This would be almost sacrilegious. Just hoping to see it arrive at some point.

It's great to have your prayers answered though

lol

Now let me see if it will work a second time........ God, please make it so I win the Lottery......:P

This game was more for casual gamers, the game was just too boring and not much customization....which is stupid for a RPG.

Tom(08:32 PM CEST - Aug,05 2010 )
I hope they get rid of that useless vendor that sold things that weren't identified.. like did anyone buy anything off that guy? That was the gayest thing in the game. Yes Kirby, it was a more relaxed type RPG. When I bought it I wasn't expecting a Dragon Age type game...I do agree, it could be built up a bit more. By the looks of the next one and the popularity around the game I'm sure they will do more this time around.
