Runic Games’ ‘Torchlight Mobile’ coming to Android later this year

Popular hack ‘n’ slash RPG Torchlight is coming to Android in the form of Torchlight Mobile later this year. There’s no set date for the game’s launch just yet, but we’ll certainly see a bevy updates all the way up to the game’s release.

Torchlight takes after Blizzard Entertainment’s popular series, Diablo. Since some developers heading up Diablo left the team to create their own company, Runic Games, you can imagine Torchlight has a lot of similar elements.

It’s worth noting that Torchlight Mobile will not be a port, but a full blown sequel to the PC series.

Runic Games in partnership with Fedeen Games, under parent company Perfect World, will be heading up the mobile project. It’s not clear whether the game will feature an open world, as Torchlight 2 employed, or a more restricted world like the original Torchlight game. The latter is probably the most likely due to the limitations Android has in comparison to a PC.

Thus far, the models for the game look phenomenal. Torchlight and Torchlight 2 were both beautiful games, and there’s no doubt that Torchlight Mobile will be just as gorgeous, especially on higher-res displays.

It’ll be interesting to see how well the game plays on the NVIDIA Shield Android TV or Razer’s Forge TV. We’ll hear more information as the week goes on, as E3 2015 is currently underway where the game is being displayed at.
