TL2 Guranteed Not To Come Out Until After...

September 2nd. I draw your attention to this latest announcement

PAX Prime runs Aug 31-Sep 2, 2012. I have to point out that there has never been a game at a convention after it has launched, from best that I can recall. Thus if they are going to have a booth to play TL2 there it wont be out until AFTER that event, almost 100% guaranteed. Bad news for every one who is eagerly awaiting this game, but at least we have a better sense of what to expect from Runic.

I totally misunderstood the launch of this game. I had thought it was meant to come out about a month after Diablo III. Hoping that this extra-long wait is going to pay off for the people that are dying to play it.

I am also confused as hell Rob.

Blog post cropped up about the scale of TL2 - it's approximately 4 times larger than the previous, so there's plenty of new content.

Nice to see some transparency too (yeah, makes no sense, but whatever), the polish that's going on, skill tweaks and all kinds of mob variations.

I'm having flashbacks to my beta-testing days... crawling through an area for the 422nd time, noting problems and 'feel' for the area... *shudders*, thankfully I don't do that anymore. Instead I play MMOs, remaking multiple characters, replaying the same areas over and over, and complaining in TeamSpeak about all the problems I run into. Oh how things change...
