RETURN TO THE KINGDOM OF EHB. DUNGEON SIEGE III TO LAUNCH 26th MAY, 2011

Square Enix and Obsidian Entertainment bring classic action-RPG franchise to HD game consoles for the first time 

Sydney, Australia  (February 4th, 2011) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in PAL territories, announced today that DUNGEON SIEGE™ III will be available from 26th May, 2011, in Australia (and 27th in New Zealand), with an exclusive Limited Edition available for pre-orders.

Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the all-new incarnation of the classic action-RPG franchise will make its debut on high-def home video game consoles. Players will experience the much-awaited next chapter in the DUNGEON SIEGE lore on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.

Game details

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.

Limited Edition

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 day of launch, enhancing and increasing your characters’ abilities as they venture forth through the Kingdom of Ehb. Full details attached.

“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 single player or with up to three friends online.”
