Square Enix Annouce “Robust” DLC Content for Dungeon Siege III

Square Enix today announced a robust DLC pack for Dungeon Siege III will be available from October, 2011. Introducing several additional hours of gameplay, players will enjoy more of the World of Ehb with Dungeon Siege III: Treasures of the Sun as it offers a brand new plot arc, additional quests, new enemies and tons more loot.

In Dungeon Siege III: Treasures of the Sun, players will extend their journey and travel beyond the borders of Ehb to an all-new environment: the Aranoi Desert. On their search for a lost Legion hero, players will fight through hordes of new villains only to find a forgotten abbey hiding a long-lost secret: the greatest treasure of the Azunite faith.

Further supporting the hours of new content in the expansion, developer Obsidian Entertainment has introduced several refinements to the systems and mechanics of Dungeon Siege III.

• New abilities: Players will be able to attain mastery of the arcane through powerful new attack, defence and healing abilities.

• Level up to 35: Dungeon Siege III: Treasures of the Sun will further power-up players by raising Dungeon Siege III’s existing level cap from 30 to 35.

• More monsters and items: Players will encounter new monsters in the Aranoi Desert—including mummies and giant skeletons—and will find more powerful items, adding to the thousands already available in Dungeon Siege III.

• Reallocate Talent & Proficiency Points: Players can reallocate points spent in Proficiencies and Talents, enabling changes to character customisation throughout the campaign.

• New Enchanting System: Transmuting items now gives players chances at gaining powerful new Vials which allow enhancing of weapons and armour through the DLC’s new enchanting system.
