Torchlight 2 pre-orders to include free original game on Steam

Runic Games has today launched pre-orders for their upcoming PC action RPG title, Torchlight II.

The highly-anticipated sequel is available for pre-order through two platforms, Steam, and Perfect World Entertainment, and retails for just $19.99 (£14.99, €18.99). Players who pre-purchase through Steam will receive an added bonus, a free download code for the original game, the award-winning Torchlight.

“As we put the finishing touches on Torchlight II, it made sense to start pre-orders after the great response we received at PAX-East,” said CEO Max Schaefer. “Fans have asked us for a pre-order, and we are planning an imminent network test, so the timing was perfect.”

Torchlight II captures all the excitement of the original game while expanding the world by adding the features players wanted the most, including online and LAN co-op multiplayer.
