First screenshot of Torchlight!

Torchlight is the upcoming singleplayer action-RPG from Runic Games. Runic is the company created from the remnants of Flagship Studios West. The guys that were working on Mythos.

Anyhoo, they’re developing a single-player RPG first, followed by an MMO… which has just been announced to be published by Perfect World Games. This means that it will have worldwide distribution. Very exciting.

Below is one of the first screenshots of the game in action. It looks sweet – especially the enormous boss in the top left. For those of you that like Action RPGs, from the description of it, Torchlight sounds like its going to be essentially Fate 2.0. And that’s a good thing. I can’t wait to see what the MMO is going to be like.
