Just in case you’ve been having trouble keeping track of the many RPG releases headed our way in this fast-moving summer, you should know that Dungeon Siege III will already be hitting European store shelves on Friday, with the US version to follow next Tuesday.  Two more days until Obsidian’s latest effort is officially unveiled to the world:

Dungeon Siege III to ship this week

Square Enix and Obsidian Entertainment’s anticipated next chapter in the Dungeon Siege lore is set to ship this Friday, June 17th, in Europe and other PAL territories, with North America following on Tuesday, June 21st.

In DUNGEON SIEGE III, players assume the role of one of four heroes, fighting for the sake of their fallen comrades to restore the land of Ehb. Conflict is constant in this action-RPG and decisions have lasting consequences, allowing players to alter the storyline. Choose to battle along with a companion or fight for honour with up to three friends via online co-op play. DUNGEON SIEGE III allows for two players to experience the story from start to finish in local co-op mode. Thanks to the robust AI, DUNGEON SIEGE III’s co-op multiplayer mode allows players to seamlessly drop in and out of battle without interrupting the action or impacting the campaign.

Players will experience the much-awaited next chapter in the DUNGEON SIEGE lore from 17th June, 2011, on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.
