Torchlight 2 Officially Delayed
By Miodrag Kovačević | November 18, 2011 | News | No comments | Share
Torchlight 2 has been officially delayed from its previous “this year” release date to “some point in the near future”. Runic Games president Travis Baldree has given a proper reason, though: they want to polish the game as much as possible, a luxury they did not have with the first Torchlight.
The first Torchlight was released in record time, but it had plenty of issues that a little more development could have resolved. We didn't have the resources at the time to give Torchlight that treatment. Right at this moment though, we do have those resources for the sequel, and we feel strongly that we should apply them to make this the best game we can make and hopefully one that you'll enjoy and continue to want to play in the future. We've probably had 18 months of full development time on it so far - not excessively long yet, as far as that goes. The amount of time we need to take it the rest of the way is relatively small.Travis Baldree, president of Runic Games
We always welcome having games actually functional at release (coughSkyrimcough), something that seems quite rare these days, so kudos to Runic Games.
