Holy hell. THQ Nordic has acquired the Kingdoms of Amalur IP.
THQ Nordic announced today it acquired the rights to the Kingdoms of Amalur IP, as well as Project Copernicus.
All assets for the Amalur IP were also purchased from 38 Studios, which was turned into an utter mess of a place run by former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling. Of course, issues with the firm can also be blamed on former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chaffee.
Schilling tried several times to sell Sony Online Entertainment the MMO Project Copernicus, but it was to expensive to fund. This was according to former SOE president John Smedley, who has nothing but great things to say about the project.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a rather great RPG in our opinion, was released in 2012 by Electronic Arts. The firm seemed keen on backing a sequel to the game until all heel broke loose between 38 Studios and the Rhode Island government.
THQ Noridc stated in its announcement the purchase will cover all “sales and distribution, evaluation of sequels and new content.” Hopefully this means a sequel to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is in the cards. At least we hope so.
