Runic "eager to break that mold" of action RPG wth Torchlight 
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".

Torchlight developer Runic Games, whilst eager for Torchlight to expand into the MMO space, doesn't want to get "locked into something" so big yet. They should be expanding it first.
More instalment and more platforms, says CEO Max Schaefer. The MMO decision is one they take "very, very seriously" given the huge resources it would demand to complete.

Runic Games, the developers of Torchlight II, have expressed excitement on their official site about the announcement by Blizzard of Diablo III's release date, the 15th May, despite the fact that Diablo III is a direct competitor with their action-RPG.
"Congratulations to the Diablo III team for announcing a release date! That's got to be a such a feeling of relief to be on the home stretch. We're excited to hear the news, and we can't wait to play," began Runic's post.

Dungeon crawler Torchlight 2 is a bigger beast than the original, and that means an Xbox Live Arcade version would need to be "comprehensively redesigned."
Torchlight was "just barely" shoehorned into XBLA. It's the memory limit that's the problem for a "straight port". Torchlight on Xbox Live "did very well for us."
