Microsoft today announced that the Siege Editor, the editing tool for Dungeon Siege, is now available on the game's official site. The Siege Editor allows gamers the freedom to rework nearly every aspect of the game, making Dungeon Siege not only a game, but also a platform for those who wish to create their own spells, dungeons, and even entire worlds.

The Siege Editor is packed with features that allow gamers to create almost any scenario imaginable without having to write any programming code by hand.

Coinciding with the release of the Siege Editor, Gas Powered Games is publishing the first of many tutorials called Siege University. In the first tutorial, Siege U 100, gamers will learn the basics of the editor, assemble terrain and create a basic map. Future Siege U topics will include Templates, Skrit, Siege FX, Quests and more.

Dungeon Siege is an action fantasy role-playing game featuring an immersive fully 3D environment. The game plunges players into a continuous 3D 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.
