THQ Nordic Acquires Kingdoms of Amalur

In another deal from the business end of game development, THQ Nordic announces they've finalized the addition of Kingdoms of Amalur to their growing collection of game properties. This RPG property was part of the 38 Studios era where former baseball star Curt Schilling dabbled a bit in game development and public funding. Word is: "The deal also covered the acquisition of the 'Amalur' - based on the abandoned MMORPG project 'Copernicus'." Since it's been a while, the announcement includes a refresher on their new acquisition:

This was a pretty good game. The one problem I still have with the game is the DLC: Teeth of Naros. The end boss is a cheating pos that will 1 hit kill you. I'm happy that Amalur got picked up. Maybe we can finally get a 2nd game now.
