  • THQ Nordic Acquires Kingdoms of Amalur IP

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
    THQ Nordic just continues to grow. The latest acquisition announcement came today when it was revealed that the company picked up the Kingdom of Amalur IP from 38 Studios. Not only did THQ pick up the rights to this RPG, they also picked up the Amalur content that relates to the abandoned MMORPG that was codenamed "Copernicus."
    About Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning
    The minds of New York Times bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston have combined to create Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a new role-playing game set in a world worth saving. Build the character you've always wanted and continuously evolve it to your style of play with the revolutionary Destiny system. Choose your path and battle through a master-crafted universe featuring some of the most intense, responsive, and customizable RPG combat ever.

    Short info:
    • Release date: February 10th 2012
    • SRP: USD/EUR 19.99
    • Genre: Action, RPG
    • Metacritic Score: 81 (accessed on September 5th 2018)
    • Steam reviews: 87% positive (all reviews, accessed on September 5th 2018)

    At this rate, I give it a few years until THQ Nordic takes over the world.

        The story of the development of this game and the studio around it gave it kind of a special place in my heart, the game itself is fine and i never finished it, but i'd totally play it again if it was re-released.

        Not sure the IP has the recognition to carry a new MMO... unless it's a small phone game or something.
