Microsoft @ Gen Con

This official press release from Microsoft tells of their plans to display several games at Gen Con, including the much anticipated Dungeon Siege:


    MICROSOFT DESCENDS UPON GEN CON WITH FIVE GAMES INCLUDING DUNGEON SIEGE

    Gen Con may take place in Wisconsin, but it’s going to feel a lot like Seattle this year as Microsoft announced today that they will show five upcoming titles, including the highly anticipated Dungeon Siege. Gen Con takes place in Milwaukee from August 2 – 5, and is recognized as being the largest gaming convention in the nation for science fiction, fantasy, and general game-playing fans.

    Gamers will be able to get their hands on two new role-playing games from Microsoft: Dungeon Siege, the new action fantasy RPG; and Asheron’s Call: Dark Majesty, the expansion pack to the award-winning MMORPG. Outside the RPG genre, two games based on the BattleTech universe will also be demonstrated: MechCommander 2, the recently released real-time tactical strategy game; and MechWarrior 4: Black Knight, the expansion pack to the critically acclaimed, best-selling MechWarrior 4 franchise. In addition, Ensemble Studios’ highly anticipated 3D real-time strategy title, Age of Mythology, will be on display.

    Farm Girl, the sword-wielding heroine of Dungeon Siege, will be on hand at the Microsoft booth. The spokesmodel representing Farm Girl was recently chosen by fans on the official Dungeon Siege site. Fans attending Gen Con can visit the Microsoft booth on Thursday, August 2, and pick up a voucher for a T-shirt or hat, which can be redeemed for game-branded memorabilia Thursday evening from 6 – 9 p.m. at the Microsoft-sponsored Wizards of the Coast Block Party.
