Remember 2012’s Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning? Well, the action-RPG from Big Huge Games and now-defunct 38 Studios appears to be getting a remaster in the form of ‘Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning’.
Written by renowned Forgotten Realms novel author R.A. Salvatore, Kingdoms of Amalur was kind of a mixed bag. While not inventive, the title was praised for its visuals and gameplay.
Many hoped for some sort of a remaster or remake but with EA still having the publishing rights for the title despite THQ acquiring the IP back in 2018, this seemed unlikely.
From the looks of it, however, THQ and EA have now come to an agreement as Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning has now surfaced on the official Microsoft Store ahead of any official announcement. As per the listing, the remaster is being developed by Kaiko and will release on August 11th. It will feature remastered visuals, refined gameplay, and all DLC from the original release. We’ve included the official description and a set of screenshots down below:
