Dungeon Siege 3 Coming May 27 in Europe, May 31 in North America

Square Enix announced North American and European release dates for Dungeon Siege 3 in press releases today, along with word of pre-order goodies. The game will hit European Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC players first on May 27, then follow in North America on May 31.

Square also outlined the (always popular) retailer-specific pre-order bonuses, most of which are in-game items. GameStop gets the Burning Band of Scorch to increase damage and set enemies on fire, and the Talisman of the Grand Mage for a mystical attack. Amazon shoppers will get the Bite of the Arakun, a ring to poison enemies. Best Buy gets a Sacred Heart of the Legion amulet to protect characters in battle.

Steam users receive the first two Dungeon Siege games free with their pre-orders. Finally, Wal-Mart shoppers get a mini-comic and strategy guide.

The European press release promises a Limited Edition of the game with "four unique in-game items to activate on day of launch," but doesn't specify what they are. It's likely, but unconfirmed, that the items are the ones listed above. Just a hunch.
