Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Coming to Switch

THQ has announced today that it is bringing the RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning to the Nintendo Switch. It is scheduled to release on March 16, 2021.

The original, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning first debuted in 2012, but because of major financial problems and a poor launch, the Curt Schilling project failed. The new Re-Reckoning came out on other platforms last September, but this will be the first time a Kingdoms of Amalur game will appear on a Nintendo console.

Check out the trailer below for the official announcement:
