THQ Nordic today announced that it has acquired the rights to Kingdoms of Amalur from 38 Studios. What’s really cool here, though, is that the deal also covered the acquisition of the “Amalur” – based on the abandoned MMORPG project “Copernicus”.
The acquisition itself is being handled by THQ Nordic AB, based in Karlstad, Sweden, and daily operations (sales and distribution, evaluation of sequels & new content etc.) will be done via THQ Nordic GmbH in Vienna, Austria.
Since THQ Nordic has acquired the rights to Kingdoms of Amalur, our guess is that a remastered version will be announced soon. Not only that, but a sequel – or even the cancelled MMORPG Copernicus, may be planned for resurrection.
Stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
