‘Torchlight Mobile’ is an Upcoming Action-RPG with a ‘Diablo’ Legacy

Popular hack ‘n slash series Torchlight is coming to mobile this year as the appropriately-titled Torchlight Mobile. While many hack ‘n slash games claim inspiration from Blizzard’s Diablo, Torchlight‘s original entry had the co-designers of the first two Diablo games on the development team at Runic Games. And now, publishers Perfect World and Fedeen Games are bringing Torchlight Mobile to the world later this year. Details are scant beyond that, unfortunately.

Fedeen is developing the iOS version of the game. Details are very scant beyond “Hey, this exists!" But one thing we do know is that the game features “an innovative new way of using skills." Online play will be inbound, according to IGN. It’ll be interesting to see just how this turns out. It might be free-to-play, but Perfect World, while a regular publisher of MMOs, doesn’t do free-to-play exclusively. However, Fedeen Games, who appear to be handling the mobile version, seem to do mostly free games. But hey, a Diablo-like game with an actual Diablo pedigree for mobile? Sounds interesting!
