Just like its predecessor, Runic Games' new action-RPG, Torchlight II, will cost only $19.99 upon release. Although it might be more expensive than your average downloadable game, with everything that's been added, that sounds like a real bargain.
"It's always been our goal to provide exceptional value for the price," said Runic CEO Max Schaefer. "Everyone who wants to play Torchlight II will be able to comfortably afford to do so, and they'll be able to play with their friend online or via a LAN, or play single player offline, all with no further purchases."
Online multiplayer, after being a glaring omission in the original, is the big addition in the sequel. Many of the first game's strong points -- randomly-generated dungeons and the basic gameplay -- will make a return, which is precisely what many fans would hope for.
Joining the three character classes we already know of (the Engineer, Berserker, and Outlander) is the Embermage, who was announced alongside the price today. Some of the spellcaster's backstory can be read about on the official website; the important thing to note is, despite the "ember" part of the name, the class has access to ice and electric attacks in addition to fire.
Torchlight II is still without a release date. It's only scheduled to come to PC and Mac, with the PC version set to come before the end of the year. PAX attendees will be able to check it out for themselves at Runic's booth this weekend.
