A remastered version of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has popped up on the Microsoft Store, despite not yet being officially announced.
Its new title, regrettably, is indeed “Re-Reckoning”.
If you missed it first time round, Kingdoms of Amalur is an ambitious RPG with a sprawling map and excellent world-building, albeit one which failed to spawn the franchise it was so clearly trying to set up.
Originally launched in 2012 for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, its new “Re-Reckoning” version comes with “improved graphical fidelity”.

Kingdoms of Amalur was famously pitched as the entry point into a new fantasy world – one created by author R.A. Salvatore, Todd McFarlane and Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston. There were plans for a World of Warcraft-scale MMO, to which Reckoning (and a proposed sequel) would simply be the prologue. But neither of these failed to appear.
