The official reveal arrived soon after the remaster was discovered on an official Xbox store listing. The developer is listed as Kaiko, who previously worked with THQ Nordic on Darksiders: Warmastered Edition and Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition.

Aside from the Xbox One store listing, no other console formats have been announced at the moment. The page also lists a release date of August 18, although no official date has been announced as of yet.

A Discord page has been opened by the team, which promises to bring information, updates and more as it comes.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a fantasy action-RPG that was originally released back in 2012 for PC, Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Rights for the game were purchased by THQ Nordic in 2018, during a time when the studio had also bought multiple other game IPs, such as the cult-classic Timesplitters.

A few months after the rights were retrieved, the game was later made available on the Xbox One as part of the company’s backwards compatibility programme – a project which has brought forward hundreds of Xbox 360 games to the current console.
