Torchlight 2 gets release date

Runic Games has given Torchlight 2 a 20 September release date.

The game was originally intended to launch in 2011 but has seen numerous delays as developers attempt to add further polish.

Runic president, Travis Baldree, said on the official blog: "I don't think there's much else I could say that would interest you right now, so - the official release date for Torchlight 2 is Thursday, 20 September, 2012. Three weeks away!

"We'll announce it 'more' officially and bigger tomorrow. You know first! Thank all of you for being an awesome and patient community. We look forward to getting this into your hands!"

Baldree recently claimed Torchlight 2 will be four times bigger than the original.
