That wasn’t the only news aboutKingdoms of Amalurannounced by THQ Nordic, however, with the team also revealing a crazy announcement for the eight-year-old game. Unveiled in a tweet,Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoningwill be receiving a brand new story expansion in 2021 titled “Fatesworn.“To put that into perspective,Kingdoms of Amaluroriginally launched on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2012 and will receive its newest piece of content nine years later in 2021. It goes without saying that its a very strong message from THQ Nordic, who has spent its time listening to the requests of players and authentically looking for ways to resurrect some of gaming’s most beloved cult-classics.
As for whatFateswornwill entail, it seems THQ Nordic is mostly staying quiet on what to expect from the DLC. That being said there is a tagline for the mysterious expansion, reading: “What does the future hold for the Fateless One?” It seems to hint that the additional content will likely take place after the main story of the original title. Regardless, it’s great to see an old, often underlooked game likeKingdoms of Amalurmake its grand returnwith post-launch support. It seems many are wondering when official gameplay will release and what changes the team behind the reboot have made, so it seems likely more will be revealed about the remaster in due course.
