Dungeon Siege ‘Treasures of the Sun’ DLC released

Square Enix has revealed that the first major DLC for Dungeon Siege III, Treasures of the Sun, is now available for download on all platforms.

The DLC extends the journey beyond the borders of Ehb to an all-new Desert environment in a search for a lost Legion hero. Players will fight through hordes of new foes only to find a forgotten abbey hiding a long-lost secret: the greatest treasure of the Azunite faith.

Developer Obsidian Entertainment has introduced several refinements to the systems and mechanics of Dungeon Siege III:

• New abilities: Players are now 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 raises 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 armour through the DLC’s new enchanting system.

Treasures of the Sun is available at a cost of 800 Microsoft points via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360, and US$9.99 on the PlayStation Network and Windows PC platforms.
