It is a pleasant surprise that Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is getting the remaster treatment. The game was better than most people give it credit for, and despite the developers having plans for an expanded universe of games, it sadly met its end in a swirl of lawsuits. The remaster was outed in a Microsoft Store leak, catching the industry and gamers everywhere by surprise.

The leak was then confirmed as accurate by the game’s official Twitter account, the remaster will include all the DLCs that have been available for the game.

At the moment, the game is due to release on Aug. 18 this year, although this could change for any of the dozens of reasons that project release dates tend to change. The game will reportedly launch with a standard edition and some collector’s editions that will include a statue of the game’s protagonist.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning originally released in 2012. The game was developed by 38 Studios, which was owned and operated by Curt Schilling, a former professional baseball player for the Boston Red Sox. The game did not sell particularly well at launch, the 38 Studios had left themselves open to high levels of risk by developing a potential Kingdoms of Amalur MMO at the same time. The company filed for bankruptcy after the game release, and from there on, the game’s legacy became a tangled mess of lawsuits. 

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning will be available on Xbox One, PC, and the PlayStation 4 for $39.99. At the moment, there has been no confirmation of a Nintendo Switch version.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is almost here, and soon fans will finally return to Hyrule for their next epic adventure. The game will introduce new ways to explore the vast open-world map, as well as new abilities, enemies, and goals in a new, action-packed plotline.

In a surprise announcement, Nintendo has unveiled a Treehouse livestream to celebrate the launch of Tears of the Kingdom, featuring new gameplay of the hotly anticipated release. We can imagine you are interested in checking out the stream, so we put together this guide with all the details on when, where, and how to watch The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Treehouse live stream.

When & Where to watch the Tears of the Kingdom Treehouse Livestream?

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Treehouse live stream will take place on Thursday, May 11, 2023, at 6:45 PM PT / 9:45 PM ET. There is no information on how long the stream will be, but we do know that you can watch it via the official Nintendo Live website. We imagine it will also be available on Nintendo’s official Youtube and Twitch channels. However, this hasn’t been confirmed yet.

While there are not a lot of specific details, we do know that this livestream will feature four Nintendo Treehouse segments focused on new gameplay of Tears of the Kingdom. This likely could include more of Link’s new Fuse and Ultrahand abilities, the new Sky Islands, or something entirely new.

Following the livestream, more content will be streamed from the Nintendo New York Store as they count down to the game’s launch. Once again, we don’t know exactly what that will entail, but given previous similar streams from the New York Store, it will likely be fans and content creators getting hyped for Tears of the Kingdoms release.

With the game just a week away, any chance at new information is an exciting prospect. Because of this, tuning into the livestream is the perfect way to build a bit more hype before it becomes available around the world. Hopefully, Link’s new adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be just exciting as every new bit of information has foreshadowed it will be.

Nine years after the original studio’s closure and a year after the remaster, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is finally getting new content. When the remaster was announced during the summer of last year, an expansion was promised for 2021. It’s been radio silence ever since last September, but we now have a release date.

The new Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning expansion launches December 14 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Curiously, a Nintendo Switch release date was not detailed. This could either mean the Switch expansion is delayed or that it is not coming to Switch at all.

Entitled Fatesworn, the expansion takes place in a brand new environment with a new main questline that the developers estimate to be around six hours in length. Role-playing fans shouldn’t fret, as there will also be new side quests to further extend the expansion’s playtime. The expansion features a new chaos mechanic as well as new weapons, armor, and accessories.

The previous level cap of 40 is also expanded, granting a new level 50 cap. New music has been composed specifically for the expansion by Grant Kirkhope, who you may know from his work on classic Rare titles during the Nintendo 64 era such as GoldenEye 007 in addition to modern games like Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.

It seems an Alan Wake remaster is on the way and will be here quite soon. A listing for the game as well as an October 5release date was spotted on Rakuten Taiwan. This comes months after the game was found in the Epic Games Store database alongside a Final Fantasy VII Remake PC port.

The listing on the website has three different pages for a PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X version of the game. We would imagine Xbox One players should also expect to get their hands on the game, given there is one last-gen version available on PlayStation.

We have known for a while now that Remedy has been looking to get back into the Alan Wake universe. The tormented author was in Control’s AWE DLC, and CEO Tero Virtala has said they are looking to make two games in the Control/Alan Wake universe, one large AAA experience and a smaller one. This remaster would certainly be the smaller release of those two.

If the release date for this remaster is true, we expect Remedy to make an announcement on the game any day now. If you have been waiting for another chance to play this cult classic thriller, it looks like it is coming sooner rather than later.
