The publisher takes over all Marketing and PR, as well as sales agendas for Torchlight.

So far the game has received average ratings of well over 80% worldwide, as well as several awards, and the game ’s sales curve has been rising continuously.
Albert Seidl, CEO JoWooD Group, explains:„JoWooD Entertainment will utilize its highly effective distribution network to optimally position the game in stores all over Europe (excluding France and Benelux). The enormous amount of publicity this title has generated in the media so far, as well as the product’s indubitable top quality, makes us certain that this title has huge potential” and adds “We are enthusiastic to be able to cooperate with Runic Games on this project and are looking forward to a highly successful release.”
