The next instalment in the Torchlight series is unlikely to be so direct a sequel as Torchlight 2 has been to the original. In fact, Runic want to take the action RPG mold and break it "a little bit."

The studio won't be leaving the ARPG arena as it's their "sole marketable skill" among the team. The early success of Diablo 1 "sort of stuck" with the veterans, but now they want a "twist on it".

Runic Games' Torchlight II is now available to buy for the PC and a demo of the action-RPG is also available. The sequel dungeon crawler is priced a just $20, which the studio think is perfectly ideal.

During an AMA session on Reddit, Runic co-founder Max Schaefer said it was $20 "because we want a bigger community," and the game's digital release makes it "economically viable", unlike retail.

Torchlight II is finally going to see its launch on the 20th September, and developer Runic Games has announced that the game will enjoy Steam Workshop, which expedites mod installation.
