Runic Has No Plans For A Torchlight MMO


We’ve talked before about the possibility of a Torchlight MMO, and while Runic has hinted at the possibility of an MMO before, nothing has been set in stone. Unfortunately, it looks like the odds of an MMO based in the dungeon-crawling universe are slim. In an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, Travis Baldree (President) commented that there are no plans currently for a Torchlight MMO, at least for the moment.

“I’ll be frank, we have no plans to jump into that right now. The landscape is a little different than a few years ago, and creating the amount of content we did for Torchlight 2 was a supreme effort with a team this size. Taking on an MMO immediately afterward is not our current desire.”

So it seems that the Torchlight MMO may just be wishful thinking at this point. Still, I can’t blame the folks at Runic for wanting to do something different after working on the Torchlight series for so long.
