We are thrilled to reveal our first title, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning™, previously referred to as Project Mercury! Scheduled for release in fall of 2011, Reckoning is an epic, open-world, single-player RPG set in Amalur, a mysterious and magical new fantasy setting.

The world of Amalur was created by New York Times-bestselling author R.A. Salvatore and brought to life visually by renowned artist and Spawn creator Todd McFarlane. Reckoning was developed under the leadership of Ken Rolston, lead designer of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. You can learn even more by reading our press release.

Media coverage has been fantastic so far, including a story on the front page of USA Today's Life section (which you can also find here).

More details will be released at the San Diego Comic-Con Thursday, July 22nd, where visionaries R.A. Salvatore, Todd McFarlane, Ken Rolston, and 38 Studios founder Curt Schilling will host a panel in the first-ever public discussion of Reckoning. Panel attendees will catch the premiere of the Reckoning teaser trailer (which was directed by Todd McFarlane), and each will receive a limited edition collectible poster designed by Todd. The Reckoning panel takes place in room 6A, from 1:15pm until 2:15pm, and will be moderated by Spike TV's Geoff Keighley.

Watch out for the official Reckoning website, ReckoningTheGame.com, which will be officially launched on July 22nd. Take a look at the press coverage that Reckoning has received so far:
