With the recent release of Torchlight on Xbox Live, Runic's CEO, Max Schaefer, has said that the game took time away from development on Torchlight II, and so the sequel is going to miss its May or June release period.
In an interview with Runic's CEO on Digital Spy, Max Schaefer said that "having to do the extra work with the interface, has pushed us back a little bit, so we're probably talking July right now for Torchlight II. It’s going great, however. We've actually got some optimizations and technical improvements that went into making the Xbox version that we've been able to go back and implement into Torchlight II for PC."
"We've got load times down, we’ve got some animation stuff that's a little bit better, and it’s feeling really good right now. Torchlight II is playing really snappy and really sharp, so I'm very excited about that."
Torchlight II was originally set for release in May or June, with this delay it now looks set for July on PC.
