Square Enix sends along the word that the action RPG Dungeon Siege 3 is going to get 'Treasures of the Sun', a downloadable content pack arriving this October. The DLC offers additional hours of gameplay, "a brand new plot arc, additional quests, new enemies and tons more loot." You'll also travel to a new location - the Aranoi Deser, which lies beyond the borders of Ehb.

Here are the main features of Dungeon Siege 3: Treasures of the Sun:

New abilities: Players will be able to attain mastery of the arcane through powerful new attack, defense and healing abilities.
Level up to 35: Dungeon Siege 3: Treasures of the Sun will further power up players by raising Dungeon Siege 3's existing level cap from 30 to 35.
More monsters and items: Players will encounter new monsters in the Aranoi Desert—including mummies and giant skeletons—and will find more powerful items, adding to the thousands already available in Dungeon Siege 3.
Reallocate Talent & Proficiency Points: Players can reallocate points spent in Proficiencies and Talents, enabling changes to character customization throughout the campaign.
New Enchanting System: Transmuting items now gives players chances at gaining powerful new Vials that allow them to enhance their weapons and armor through the DLC’s new enchanting system.

Not too bad... for DLC anyway. It's heading to 360, PS3 and Windows PC.
