“Even though a lot of us are old now we play a lot of the Lego games, and the Lego games allow you to jump in and jump out. We thought that would be an awesome way to do multiplayer for Dungeon Siege.”

While Dungeon Siege III only has four characters to use, players can customize them by setting ability enhancing proficiency points to talent points for passive skills. Once you assign a point, it’s set in stone.

The build of Dungeon Siege III I played had two characters to choose Lucas Montbarron, son of a former Grand Master of the Legion, and Anjali, a fire elemental (called an archon in the game) who was raised by Odo.

Even though it has a different developer, Dungeon Siege III takes place in the same world as other games in the series.

Pre-order Dungeon Siege III from Steam and you’ll be rewarded with digital copies of Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege II as a bonus.

Aside from remakes and sequels, Square Enix wants to reboot old franchises to strengthen their lineup of games.

While Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light is the last retail game from Square Enix USA this year, the first quarter of next year is jam packed with Kingdom Hearts, Deus Ex, and Final Fantasy.

Dungeon Siege III might be the flashiest hack and slash RPG this generation. Every strike leaves a trail of light or an explosion on the ground.

Dungeon Siege — the entire franchise is now a property of Square Enix.
