Once again, Microsoft Store has shown something that they shouldn’t have.

Previously, the Redmond-based company’s digital store revealed Mafia: Trilogy prematurely, and now, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning‘s new version gets the same treatment. You can find its store page here. The publisher will be THQ Nordic, and Keiko is responsible for the development. (The original game was developed by 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, and published by both 38 Studios and Electronic Arts in February 2012 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. THQ Nordic acquired the IP’s rights in September 2018.)

„The hit RPG returns! From the minds of the bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston, comes Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning.

Improved graphical fidelity in Re-Reckoning,” the Microsoft Store page says.

According to the Microsoft Store, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning will launch on August 11. At the moment, the Xbox One version seems to be the only confirmed platform (it even has its achievements), but since the original was a multiplatform title, we can expect a PlayStation 4 and PC version. Maybe even a Nintendo Switch port.
