Torchlight II is almost four times bigger than the first game

24 July 2012

Torchlight II is big. It’s huge. It’s apparently nearly four times giganticker than the first game, which is so big I even made up a new word for it. That’s probably bigger than anybody can even comprehend.

“In terms of scale, Torchlight II is close to four times the scale of Torchlight one as far as assets go, and probably close to that as far as playtime,” Runic president Travis Baldree revealed on the official Torchlight 2 blog. A quick bit of investigative journalism puts the average game of Torchlight at around 20 hours or so, meaning Torchlight II is pretty much the longest game ever.

“Ideally, the multiplayer that everyone has asked for will further increase the longevity of the game (we certainly hope so!). These are all new assets as well (some monsters and weapons return from Torchlight, but they have all been recreated, or in the case of some individual weapons and shields, updated and repainted).”

That sounds nice and everything, but if you don’t believe it, the people at Runic Games have crunched the numbers and put them on an infographic so you can compare the two games and see for yourself. SEE!
