Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning (yes, I know) includes the base game and its subsequent DLC, and perhaps more importantly, paves the way for a brand-new story expansion, Fatesworn, which is due next year. Rather than vanishing forever in a whiff of obscurity, however, dormant-IP vacuum THQ Nordic snaffled up the rights in 2018, which in turn brings us to today and the imminent release of its remaster, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning.

Unfortunately, the game failed to sell enough copies following its high-profile launch, resulting in the collapse of developer 38 Studios, alongside messy and lengthy legal proceedings involving a sizeable loan from Rhode Island State. As Eurogamer's Oli Welsh put it, 'Between the handful of meaty faction quest lines and the brimming constellation of side-quests and dungeons, you'll be so regularly and naturally sidetracked that you'll never even think about grinding.'

The original Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning released back in 2012, and gained fans for its sprawling, richly detailed fantasy world, its staggering wealth of content, and its punchily enjoyable third-person combat. THQ Nordic has announced it will be offering Steam users 50% off its Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning remaster when it launches next Tuesday, 8th September, provided they have the original version of the action-RPG in their library on Valve's platform.
