Kingdoms of Amalur IP acquired by THQ Nordic

The Kingdoms of Amalur IP has been acquired by THQ Nordic, the publisher today announced.

38 Studios IP, including Amalur and an abandoned MMORPG Calle Copernicus, are now in the hands of THQ Nordic’s Austria-based studio. That said, no original talent seems to have come over in the transaction — THQ Nordic has asked media in a press release to forward contacts so it “can discuss further steps with our colleagues.”

Kingdoms of Amalur was published by EA in 2012; its world was a creation of author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston. We reviewed the only game in its franchise, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, here.

Are you excited about a possible Amalur sequel?

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
