Torchlight II is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Runic Games. It is the sequel to Runic's 2009 ARPG, Torchlight, and features peer-to-peer multiplayer support and extended modding capabilities. A release for Mac OS is planned for some time after the PC release. Runic Games originally estimated the PC version's release date to be sometime in 2011, but in November 2011 company president Travis Baldree announced the game release date would be pushed back to 2012 to allow time for further polishing and a beta test.
Like the original Torchlight, Torchlight II will feature randomly-generated dungeons for the player to explore, and numerous types of monsters to fight for experience and loot. Torchlight II maintains the same basic gameplay as its predecessor, but features overland areas with multiple hub towns, and a longer campaign. Other new features include time of day cycles, weather effects, and a redesigned user interface. Players will be able to customize character appearance with choice of gender, face, and hair style. Additionally, several elements from the first game will be returning, such as pets, fishing, and a retirement system.
The Game features four Player classes:
1). The Engineer (formerly known as the Railman) is a heavy melee fighter who uses ember-powered steampunk technology.

one must break it into
smaller problems.”

2). The Outlander is a wandering nomad who uses ranged weapons and "low magic.
“The Empire would like to pretend people like me don't exist—
and yet, here I am.”

3). The Embermage is a highly trained spell-casting class with elemental attacks.
“Ember is dangerous to
the untrained hand—
and deadly in mine.”

4). The Berserker uses quick attacks and animal-themed special powers to kill everything in its path.
“Enough talk!
Gold and glory await!”

All classes are completely customisable with different skill trees and unique ways of playing through the game.
It also features a "Pet" system by which you can choose from a variety of pets and they can preform tasks for you such as fighting with you or when you're deep in a dungeon you can send them to find potions for you. You can choose from a cat, ferret, chakawary(Dragon thing), bulldog, hawk, panther or wolf. Which is pretty fucking cool!
As stated in the trailer for Torchlight 2, Runic games have announced that they "heard their pleas" and criticism concerning the fact that Torchlight I was a lonely experience without an apparently much needed co-op. Promised in the sequel will be an all new Co-operative play feature which will allow players to connect. Game modes include single-player and co-op multiplayer, supporting both internet and LAN play. Runic has not yet decided on the maximum number of players per game, but Runic co-founder Max Schaefer stated that in their testing, groups of 2-4 players give the best experience.
Torchlight II became available for pre-order through Steam in May 2012. There are 2 available pre-order options: a single copy of the game and a 4-Pack edition which contains 4 copies of the the original Torchlight game and 4 copies of Torchlight II.

The game looks great, fun and a little bit hipster IMHO and I know I'll be buying it. What does Facepunch think?
