A new listing on the
Microsoft Store reveals plans for
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, a
remaster of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the 2012 RPG from Big Huge Games and
38 Studios that was designed by Ken Rolston, R.A. Salvatore, and Todd McFarlane
(thanks
PC Gamer). The listing says our day of re-reckoning is August 18th of this
year. Target systems are not mentioned and the system requirements online
mention Xbox One, so we reckon it remains to be seen if this is coming to PC as
well. Here's the description of how the game is being updated:
