Dungeon Siege blasts off, becomes Space Siege

by Justin McElroy { Jul 6th 2007 at 1:00PM }

Sega announced today that Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games will follow up their Dungeon Siege series with Space Siege, an action RPG set for a Q1 2008 release for North America and Europe on the PC.

A far cry from leather and swords, you'll be playing an engineer who can sacrifice parts of his humanity for cybernetic upgrades. How much humanity you're willing to give up seems to be one of the game's central struggles, with NPCs reacting to you differently depending on how human you are.

You're on one of the last remaining ships carrying humans after an attack on Earth and, as you have probably have already guessed, you'll be attempting to save the human race from being eradicated. Also mentioned in the release: A co-op multiplayer mode for up to four players. More info on the game is due in PC Gamer's September issue and (we would bet) during E3.

Holy shit, this could be awesome. I thought the original dungeon siege was an awesome multiplayer romp. I'm surprised Blizzard didn't think of this already. Take that whole Diablo concept and throw it into a sci-fi/space atmosphere. If Starcraft was simply "Orc's in space" originally, imagine a "Diablo in space." I'm thinking like a fast paced, combat oriented Fallout or something. I see a lot of potential here if done right.
