Pre-orders for Torchlight 2 go live, still no release date
We may not know exactly when Torchlight 2 will be released, but at least we know how much it's going to cost. Developer Runic Games has begun taking pre-orders for the dungeon crawler via both Steam and Perfect World Entertainment. Just like the original Torchlight, the sequel will set you back $20, with Steam also offering a 4-pack for $60, essentially netting you a copy for free.
Whenever it comes out, that is.
