Runic Games was an American computer game developer based in Seattle. It was formed by former Flagship Studios developers in August 2008.[1][2] In 2009, the company released Torchlight, a single-player action role-playing game. It was acquired by Perfect World in May 2010.[3] They released a sequel, Torchlight II, in 2012. It was at this time the developers revealed they were no longer pursuing plans to create an MMO in the Torchlight universe.[4]
