Torchlight II captures the quirky charm and furious action of the original, while expanding the world and including the features players wanted most. Torchlight II is fast, fun, and filled to the brim with action and loot. Adventure solo, or online with your friends!

The most exciting new feature of Torchlight II is the multiplayer component. Play with friends old and new, using the free matchmaking service. Together you'll discover expansive outdoor areas and ominous caverns; random dungeons teem with a huge variety of all new monsters and villains, powerful magical loot, and quests to complete. Journey through vastly differing locales, enjoying all new weather features, time of day events, and a new and more deeply developed story.

Years ago, the Heroes of Torchlight saved the world from the ancient evil, Ordrak. Now someone has stolen the essence of his power, and is using it to upset the balance of the six elements. After witnessing the destruction wrought by this terrible artifact, you'll begin a quest to uncover the villain's identity and avert disaster. The trail leads from the beleaguered Estherian Steppes, through the war-torn Mana Wastes and the haunted ruins of an ancient dwarven city, before descending to a realm where no mortal has set foot for thousands of years—and where an even more terrible evil struggles to unleash itself into the world.

Perfect World Entertainment and developer Panic Button announced a partnership to bring Torchlight II to brand new platforms. The team is working on an enhanced version of Torchlight II, which will launch on consoles this fall. Soon console players will be able to discover why this classic ARPG dungeon crawler became such a fan-favorite when Runic Games released it on PC in 2012.

“Panic Button has established an incredible reputation of bringing some of the best games in the industry to new and exciting platforms,” said Yoon Im, Senior Vice President of Global Publishing at Perfect World Entertainment. “They’ve done a masterful job of bringing Hob to life on the Nintendo Switch, and we’re excited to introduce the game to a new audience.”

“Adventurers were transfixed by Hob when this mesmerizing single-player adventure game first burst onto the scene a few years ago,” said Andy Boggs, Technical Director at Panic Button. “And over the years Torchlight II has a gained a cult-like following amongst even the most hardcore of ARPG fans. We’re so excited to work with Perfect World Entertainment on bringing these fan favorites on new platforms, for a new generation of gamers.”

Additional details on Torchlight II will be revealed soon.
