Runic Games had been hoping to get Torchlight II out by the end of the year. President Travis Baldree now says the company “made a good run at that” at that goal, but it simply isn’t realistic. Rather than release an inferior product, it will instead take the extra time to ensure the game is as good as it can be.
“We’ve come to the realization, however, that getting a game of this scope up to the quality and polish level we want to achieve is going to take a little longer,” he wrote on the game’s official website today, “especially since we want to run a small beta before release to ensure that our launch is smooth.”
