Reckoning’s First DLC: The Legend of Dead Kel

Ryan Shwayder — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:12:06 +0000

I’m not sure if you know this, but pirates are awesome. What else is awesome? Reckoning! What else?!?! I can’t say more or your mind might be blown! Reckoning’s first DLC has been announced, and it’s right up my alley. The Legend of Dead Kel

The legendary pirate Dead Kel and his Hanged Men have returned to haunt the seas of northern Amalur. Embark on a journey to the distant island of Gallows End with the eccentric Captain Brattigan in an adventure that will uncover a secret so great that it has incited wars and toppled kingdoms. Discover powerful new weapons and Twist of Fate Cards and use them to conquer the island’s unique inhabitants. Become the Lord of Gravehal Keep and lay claim to this once great fort that stands upon the edge of a cliff in the most expansive player housing option yet. In an extensive new story and a host of new side quests, battle treacherous new enemies and face exciting new challenges on the mysterious island of Gallows End.

The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo is now available on PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3! There are some pretty awesome things you can unlock just from playing the demos for Reckoning and Mass Effect 3. Something that had not been announced until today for PC users is that the game is available on both Origin and Steam (the latter gets you some TF2 items if you pre-order)!

We’ve also launched a new site for Reckoning, so check that out as well! It’s pretty cool as we get to start sharing some more of the things we’ve kept close to the chest for years. Enjoy!

It’s been a long time since we first started talking about 38 Studios and what we’ve been working on. If you’ve been paying attention lately, you’ve probably seen more information surface about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, an epic open world fantasy RPG set in the world of Amalur (the same universe as our MMO, codenamed Copernicus). At long last, we’ll begin to interact on an official basis on the brand new Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning forums. See you in the community!

Did Kingdoms of Amalur Get “Best New IP?”

Ryan Shwayder — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:01:45 +0000

Game Trailers announced their Best New IP of E3 award. One of the nominees was Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. That’s the IP I’ve been working on since 2006 with the team at 38, though Reckoning itself is being developed by our sister studio in Maryland (we Rhode Islanders are working on the MMO, codenamed Copernicus). Check out the Game Trailers video to see if Reckoning took the honors. Something I failed to mention earlier: Reckoning won RipTen’s Best RPG of E3!
