Dungeon Siege 3 Treasures of the Sun DLC announced

Square Enix has announced that Dungeon Siege fans can look forward to even more hacking and slashing this October, with the Treasures of the Sun downloadable add-on bringing with it a brand new plot arc, additional quests, new enemies and tons more loot.

In Dungeon Siege III: Treasures of the Sun, players will extend their journey and travel beyond the borders of Ehb to an all–new environment: the Aranoi Desert. On their search for a lost Legion hero, players will fight through hordes of new villains only to find a forgotten abbey hiding a long–lost secret: the greatest treasure of the Azunite faith.

Along with the new location and story, gamers can look forward to several other refinements and additions, including:

New abilities: Players will be able to attain mastery of the arcane through powerful new attack, defense and healing abilities.
Level up to 35: Dungeon Siege III: Treasures of the Sun will further power up players by raising 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 armor through the DLC's new enchanting system.

The Dungeon Siege III Treasures of the Sun DLC will be out on Xbox LIVE in October for 800 MS Points.
