Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Brings The Action RPG To The Current Gen

We more-or-less expected this after the leaks earlier this year. But THQ Nordic officially announced today the upcoming release for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. The Beloved action RPG returns, soon arriving on current gen machines. Not only that, there is even more Amalur content on the way.

For those who are unfamiliar, Kingdoms of Amalur was a fantasy RPG from 2012. Set in the, well, Kingdoms of Amalur, you play as a character returned from the dead, defying fate in a world dominated by destiny. Created in part by Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion creator Ken Rolston, the world of Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a treat for any lover of the high-fantasy genre.

While many mediums have created similar works of fiction, what set Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning apart from the rest was the phenomenal gameplay. A hack and slash action game, Kingdoms of Amalur had dynamic combat closer to God of War then it did Skyrim. 

Heavy strikes and brutal takedowns are just one fantastic part of the gameplay. There is also incredibly detailed combat customizability. Kingdoms of Amalur allows for multiclassing and picking your favorite abilities out of the skill trees. And if you’re like me, unable to decide, you can respec your skills at any time until your character is built how you like!

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning will be arriving on September 8th, available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For more information, you can check out the official website by clicking here.
