Welcome to the Jungle! Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna Site Launches

Microsoft Game Studios today announced that the official Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna site is now live at
http://www.microsoft.com/games/dungeonsiegeloa. Adventurers who delve deep into the newly launched site will find screenshots, desktop wallpapers and information about the key features of this highly anticipated expansion pack. Gamers can also find out more details about many of the new spells, monsters, treasures and mysterious storyline on the new site. Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna, which also includes the full version of the original Dungeon Siege, will be available in North America this November for an estimated retail price of $29.99 (U.S.).

Legends of Aranna will also introduce new spells and special over-the-top spell effects to combat fierce new creatures such as Clockwork Beasts and Doppelgangers. After starting the game as a farm boy or farm girl, players will be able to add a new Half-Giant player character to fill out their party or choose the Half-Giant directly for multiplayer mode. Spells will also be discovered further into the game that can temporarily transform the player character into a wolf, troll or lava monster. Players will be able to collect rare and powerful treasures, including new consistent styles of armor sets and collectables. Also available is a new pack animal that will defend the player's treasure to the death.

Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna is an expansion pack for Dungeon Siege, an action fantasy role-playing game featuring an immersive fully 3-D environment. 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.
