Microsoft Launches Dungeon Siege
Trial Version

Microsoft today announced that the
Dungeon Siege trial version is now available on the game’s official site at

http://www.microsoft.com/games/dungeonsiege
.  The player will be able
to experience the first 10% of the game in single player mode (about 3-5 hours
of gameplay) and in multiplayer mode.

The trial version allows would-be
adventurers to explore locales such as the Ancient Crypts and the besieged town
of Stonebridge. Armed with a melee weapon, bow, or magical spells, players will
be able to experience a small portion of this lush, 3-D world alone or with
friends online.

Dungeon Siege is an action fantasy
role-playing game featuring an immersive fully 3-D environment. The game plunges
players into a continuous 3-D fantasy world on a quest to stop a mysterious evil
that has been unleashed. Beginning with a single character, players can travel
through the world and gather a party of up to eight characters, or choose to
face the challenge alone. The action role-playing in Dungeon Siege propels
players into one over-the-top battle after another as the storyline unfolds.

Dungeon Siege is available in stores
now, or it can be ordered by calling Microsoft at (888) 218-5617, or on the
Internet at http://shop.microsoft.com/ 
for an estimated retail price of $54.95 (U.S.). Dungeon Siege has an ESRB rating
of "T" for Teen. For more information, please visit the official site at:
