Dungeon Siege III release date announced

3 February 2011

Square Enix announced today that Dungeon Siege III will be available from 27 May 2011 in South Africa, Europe and other PAL territories. An exclusive Limited Edition will be available for pre-orders.

Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the all-new incarnation of the classic action-RPG franchise will make its debut on the current generation of video game consoles – Xbox 360 and PS3. The franchise will of course be returning to its home platform of thePC.

In Dungeon Siege III, players assume the role of one of four legionnaires in the crumbling kingdom of Ehb, fighting for the sake of their fallen comrades. Conflict is constant and decisions have lasting consequences, allowing players to dictate the outcome of the tale. Do battle as a lone hero or fight alongside up to three friends and, thanks to robust AI, Dungeon Siege III’s co-op multiplayer mode allows players to seamlessly drop in and out of battle without interrupting the action or impacting the campaign.

Available exclusively for pre-orders, a limited edition Dungeon Siege III pack will be available in PAL territories featuring four unique in-game items available to activate on the day of launch, enhancing and increasing your characters’ abilities as they venture forth through the Kingdom of Ehb.

“With Dungeon Siege III we are bringing the rich world and lore of Ehb to an all new audience,” said Ned Browning, Brand Manager at Square Enix. “The depth of story and wealth of characters and classes will take players on an incredible journey whether in singleplayer or with up to three friends online.”
