So, seeing as the release date is coming closer, I reckon making a thread is in order, especially seeing as I'm sure there are a number of people anticipating this game together with me.
Official News ArticleSquare Enix Ltd., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX? interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, announced today that DUNGEON SIEGE™ III will be available from 27th May, 2011, in Europe and other PAL territories, with an exclusive Limited Edition available for pre-orders.

This May, players will experience the much-awaited next chapter in the DUNGEON SIEGE lore on PlayStation?3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.
In DUNGEON SIEGE III, players assume the role of one of four legionnaires in the crumbling kingdom of Ehb, fighting for the sake of their fallen comrades. Conflict is constant and decisions have lasting consequences, allowing players to dictate the outcome of the tale. Do battle as a lone hero or fight alongside up to three friends and, thanks to 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.
Available exclusively for pre-orders, a limited edition Dungeon Siege III pack will be available in PAL territories featuring four unique in-game items available to activate on day of launch, enhancing and increasing your characters' abilities as they venture forth through the Kingdom of Ehb.

It also has different rewards for pre-ordering at various retailers. No news yet on what BTGames will give us. Steam seems to offer the best deal, though.
Pre-order perksObsidian Entertainment and Square Enix have announced the official release date of Dungeon Siege 3, the action packed role play game.
The game is set to be released on May 31st 2011, and a large variety of retailer are adding in extras to offer in return for a customers pre order.
The majority of these pre order bonuses have been in appearing in the form of in-game bonuses, aimed at the big gamers and fans of the first two Dungeon Siege games.
Below are a few examples of these bonuses.
Amazon: Bite of Arakun – Grants the player the ability to poison enemies with lingering injury or soften their defences, leaving them vulnerable for follow-up attacks.
Best Buy: Sacred Heart of the Legion – Increases a player’s health and pushes close combat assailants back each time the bearer is struck in battle.
GameStop: Burning Band of Scorch – This exclusive pre order in-game ring increases the raw damage of a player’s attacks and sets all foes ablaze with any weapon.
Talisman of the Grand Mage – This exclusive pre order in-game necklace reduces incoming damage on the player and grants the ability to lash out with a mystical attack that injures enemies in close-range combat.
However, retailer Steam have gone for something completely different, and the best value for the pre order deal.
With Steam, you get both ‘Dungeon Siege’, and ‘Dungeon Siege 2′ for free. That’s two absolutely free digital game copies.
This deal only seems to be worth the money however, if you do not already own the first two games.
Walmart also offer a mini strategy guide for the game, as well as a Dark Horse comic with their offer.
Dungeon Siege 3 will be released for the PC, Xbox360, and the PlayStation 3, for an average price of ?40.
