This one is hot off the virtual presses! Runic Games, via their Torchlight website, have announced that their Diablo-esque action RPG is going for sale, on Steam, on October 27th. This is GREAT news for anybody who has really been hankering for an action RPG like Diablo but has come up empty for the last year or so.

Runic Games is comprised of the same people who were in the process of developing Mythos, another Diablo-esque action RPG turned MMO. I was in the Mythos beta for over a year and was having a great time… until Flagship Studios collapsed leaving the game in a purgatory state. Needless to say Torchlight is a step-brother, so to say, of Mythos and will offer similar styled gameplay.

Runic is also said to be working on an MMO based off of Torthlight as soon as the game is released so, naturally, we are looking forward to trying it out as soon as possible.
