Torchlight II Slips To Summer 2011

Chatting with DigitalSpy.com tonight, Runic Games' Max Schaefer revealed that their highly anticipated Action-RPG, Torchlight 2, has been delayed a few months due to the team being busy porting the original Torchlight to Xbox Live Arcade. Previously scheduled for release in Spring 2011, Torchlight 2 is now expected to hit stores this Summer (possibly July). It's not all bad news though! Word is the extra time has allowed them to add some extra polish:

"It's going great, however. We've actually got some optimisations and technical improvements that went into making the Xbox version that we've been able to go back and implement into Torchlight II for PC.

"We've got load times down, we've got some animation stuff that's a little bit better, and it's feeling really good right now."

Can't wait! :)
