No, there's no Torchlight 2
release date in this article. However, when the end's not in sight,
you've just got to press on and collect as much loot as possible
along the way – advice that holds just as true for buying the game
as it does for playing it. Both Steam and Perfect World Entertainment
are now taking your money in exchange for the promise to furnish you
with a copy of the game at Runic's earliest convenience, with both
offering equally generous preorder bonuses (via Game Informer).
Steam preorders for the game
come bundled with a free copy of the original Torchlight, which ought
to provide enough content to turn you into a mumbling shut-in, should
that be your ambition in life. Alternatively you could reserve a copy
with Perfect World in exchange for a beta key to Neverwinter,
Cryptic's Dungeons & Dragons MMO that's not due for release until
late this year (here's our recent Neverwinter preview for more on the
title).
Torchlight 2's priced at
$19.99/£14.99. This month's seen the Torchlight 2 release date teased alongside promises that the game'll be available around
the same time as Diablo III – but not the exact same time, because
Runic may have been locked away with this thing for a while but the
company's not crazy.
