Runic Games has today announced that the highly anticipated hack-and-slash sequel Torchlight 2 is now finally available for purchase on various digital services. The new title will see players taking up arms to fight back the deadly forces that threaten the world, and offering a huge amount of loot to help accomplish the task.

The award-winning action RPG is back, bigger and better than ever! Torchlight II takes you back into the quirky, fast-paced world of bloodthirsty monsters, bountiful treasures, and sinister secrets - and, once again, the fate of the world is in your hands!

Torchlight II captures all the flavor and excitement of the original game - while expanding the world and adding the features players wanted most, including online and LAN co-op multiplayer. Torchlight II is fast, fun, and filled to the brim with action and loot. Adventure solo or online with your friends!

With the release of the game, Runic has also let us know that a demo is now available for download, though currently it only seems to be accessible on Steam, however hopefully we can get a local download soon.
