THQ Nordic has just announced a remaster of the original game with a slightly new but clever title called Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. The original title of the game was Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning which was released back in 2012 for the PC, Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 3.
The remastered version of the game is said to contain all the DLC which were previously released. This includes Legend of Dead Kel and Teeth of Naros, with improved graphical fidelity. The game is being remastered by Kaiko, which is the same developer that worked on the recently remastered Darksiders titles, and the Legend of Kay: Anniversary Edition.
A few screenshots were also shared by THQ Nordic showing some of the images from the remastered game.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is planned for a release on August 11 as confirmed by a listing on the Microsoft Store. The listing also mentions all the DLCs that will be included when the game releases. The listing was apparently leaked online a few days ago when it randomly showed up on the Microsoft Store. It is currently unclear if the remastered game would be an Xbox One exclusive, or if it will release on the PlayStation 4 and the PS4.
The 2012 game was originally developed by 38 Studios and was published by EA. However, THQ Nordic bought the game’s IP from the 38 Studios, before the original developer shut down after filing for bankruptcy.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an action RPG that featured five different regions with 4 different playable races. This included the Civilized Humans, the Dark and Light Elves, and the Nomadic Humans. The story is set in the Faelands, which is one of the Kingdoms of Amalur.

Boring game without depth.
Beside of that, the original runs fine, wondering why they do a remaster? Seems it’S a good way to keep old licenses and sell the same product over and over again to customers…
