Games publisher Square Enix has announced that its hugely-popular RPG title Dungeon Siege III will be getting its first batch of downloadable content (DLC) in October.
The Dungeon Siege III: Treasures Of The Sun DLC will add several more hours of gameplay to the already-massive world, where players will be able to go on extra adventures in the world of Ehb. The DLC will also offer 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,” Square Enix said in a statement.
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, defense 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 customization throughout the campaign.
* New Enchanting System: Transmuting items now gives players chances at gaining powerful new Vials that allow them to enhance their weapons and armor through the DLC’s new enchanting system.
