Gaming News - May 2003
Redmond, WA (May 13, 2003) - Microsoft Game Studios today announced
that Dungeon Siege II is currently in development and is slated for release in
2004.
From Microsoft:
A trailer for Dungeon Siege II will be shown at E3, the annual video game
convention taking place in Los Angeles from May 14 through 16. Visitors to the
Microsoft booth (South Hall #1246) will be treated to a taste of the vision and
direction of this upcoming title. This cinematic feast for the eyes showcases
the extraordinary capabilities of the Dungeon Siege II engine, as the entire
movie was created in-engine.
"Run to the village and warn the chickens!” said Chris Taylor, president of
Gas Powered Games. “At this year’s E3 we are showing the first sneak peek of
what we have in store with Dungeon Siege 2. To emphasize the advances we have
made in the RPG genre, we created a very special trailer using the actual
in-game rendering engine. The future is here and we are all extremely excited to
be a part of it with the announcement of the next title in the Dungeon Siege
franchise."
Dungeon Siege II is the sequel to Dungeon Siege, an action fantasy
role-playing game featuring an immersive fully 3-D environment. The original
Dungeon Siege plunges players into a 3-D fantasy world where players can build
up a party and move seamlessly from one over-the-top battle to the next.
Dungeon Siege is currently available in stores for an estimated retail price
of $29.95 (U.S.). It can also be ordered by calling Microsoft at (888) 218-5617
or via the Internet at shop.microsoft.com. For more information, please visit
