REMINDER: DUNGEON SIEGE SNEAK PREVIEW SIGN-UP STARTS FRIDAY

New Video Released on Official Dungeon Siege Site

Some lucky winners will be among the first gamers to peer into the world of Dungeon Siege, the highly anticipated RPG from Microsoft and Gas Powered Games. At an undisclosed time on Friday, February 22, gamers will be able to sign up for the chance to win a sneak preview copy of Dungeon Siege at www.microsoft.com/games/dungeonsiege/, or any of 19 other games sites. The official Dungeon Siege site hosts a complete list of all participating sites.

Gamers will want to keep and eye on the participating sites frequently, as the sign-up form may appear anytime between 1 a.m. and midnight PST on Friday. The first ten submissions from each site, along with 50 additional winners randomly selected from all entries, will be able to play Dungeon Siege before the game hits store shelves.

To help celebrate the launch of this contest, Microsoft is releasing another Dungeon Siege video on the official site. This time, adventurers can experience the deep, dark catacombs that are known as the Glitterdelve mines. While these mines were once inhabited by many tireless dwarven workers, they now are the home of fearsome creatures such as Giant Scorpions and Rock Beasts.

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 will be available in April 2002 for an estimated retail price of $49.99 (U.S.).
