Torchlight May Hit Xbox Live Arcade… Eventually

According to a report over on 1UP, Runic Games plans to bring their action RPG Torchlight to Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade after the game’s MMO component is finished up.

A little over a year after the collapse of Flagship Studios, direct descendant Runic Games is preparing to release dungeon crawler Torchlight. But while the Diablo-like RPG is currently exclusive to the PC, CEO Max Schaefer admitted that the team wouldn’t mind seeing their game on consoles.

“We talk about it a lot. We fantasize about getting the [Xbox Live Arcade] version, and that would probably be the one we did… the XBLA one,” Schaefer told 1UP.

Runic Games has other commitments however, with Schaefer saying that “we’re really committed to making the MMO version next, and we’re a pretty small studio. We just have one little team.”

If Torchlight ever made it to XBLA though, the team at Runic feels that it would be successful. “We look at it and we say, ‘This would really do great,” Schaefer said.
