You may recall Runic Games, developer of the Diablo-esque action RPG Torchlight. If not, don’t worry: they’ve announced a sequel to help jog your memory.

The big reveal for Torchlight II is peer-to-peer multiplayer, supported by matchmaking. From the press release:

Torchlight II answers the overwhelming call of our community with an expansive co-op multiplayer experience…all new character classes, an expansive overworld, new quests, monsters, and lots of new dungeons

Longtime followers of Torchlight will note that this sequel is not the MMO that Runic promised after the first game. Runic CEO Max Schaefer says this sequel is a response to fan demand for multiplayer, but that the MMO is still in the future.

Torchlight II is projected to ship in the spring of 2011.
