Following last night’s XBLA announcement, Runic Games studio boss Travis Baldtree said that there are no plans to bring Torchlight to the Playstation 3.

The news was confirmed on the company’s official forums.

“No PS3 plans to speak of. Microsoft is acting as the publisher on this one. And given how much work it was to get one console game done, I’m a little relieved we didn’t attempt both platforms at once anyway.”

Baldtree also posted an important amount of details on the Xbox 360 port from the controls to the skill tree.

“Combat is a little different – you move forward slightly with melee attacks and all the attack animations are redone to support this,” he added. “You don’t ‘target’ enemies – you’ll get a red highlight for a ‘primary’ target that is in range, but for melee attacks you hit everything in your damage cone (secondary targets get secondary damage ).”

Runic also released the first screenshots. We’re still waiting for an official release date.
