Back in June and July last year, we wrote about Torchlight and Torchlight II possibly coming to Steam for Linux, and a little while ago more SteamDB activity was noticed.
Again, sorry we are late on this, but a lot of articles got built up since I moved houses and "stuff".
22 days ago this popped up on SteamDB:

Of course, it's not solid confirmation, but pretty good supporting evidence to suggest it will release on Steam soon, or a new Humble Indie Bundle will come with it in. Either way we are excited.

I love Torchlight 2 and have played it multiple times. I would love to play it again as there are many mods that are fantastic.

A clear buy if it really shows up in Humble Store/Bundle! TL is one of the games I often come back for replays....

Quoting: GuestNow that I think of it, it’s true that the latest version of TL available in my Humble library has never worked and they didn’t bother fixing it… Will have to be careful before buying TL2.
TL1 world perfect for me from the Ubuntu Software Center, don't know if that had anything to do with it though. I have never had any of the weird glitches everyone said that they had, like the missing heads etc... Even managed to get some mods working.

When Torchlight hit the Ubuntu Software Center, it sill had the missing head (on the title page, mind you) glitch. Because USC adds a repository for purchased games, it got updated twice, and, on the second update, the game becane 99.999% bug-free. I still play it every month or so, when I'm not busy playing Steam games.
Torchlight II is a lot of fun, with many more game mechanics, and lots of quests, and, if it's a native version (OR if it has as good a wrapper as The Witcher 2 (which has become pretty bulletproof, or at least it has for me)) I'll be having a lot of fun.

Torchlight 2 on Linux would be awesome! The first game was fun but Torchlight 2 is so much better in any respect! Never looked back to the first game since its release. I still really like and enjoy it. Unfortunately, it's not working with Wine anymore since v1.7.17.
So Torchlight 2 on Linux would be a blast!
