EA would love to be a partner on a Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning sequel and hopes that one day it will happen, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has told GameInformer magazine.
"I think it's unfortunate how everything worked out [for 38 Studios]," said Gibeau. "At the end of the day we saw a lot of creativity and vision in the team that Curt [Schilling] put together. We thought the game was terrific. It reviewed well.
"We built a good business there and hope there's a sequel to it someday. We'd love to be a partner for that."
Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!
I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!
COG writes - The games of the last generation were amazing and the COGconnected team decided to get together to countdown their favorites. The countdown inches to number 6 and the games are starting to get good... real good.
The journey comes to an end.
Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.
Last I heard this studio went out of business so I would think a remaster is pretty unlikely.
I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.
Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.
such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
They should of brought the team,rights/license/w/e and form a new studio. Instead they just watch everything go downhill.
I just bought the first one for $40 bucks the other day and it's awesome.
EA would love to ruin Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning sequel
*Fixed the title!*
