That expansion is out now- and it’s a pretty meaty one. New gameplay mechanics, new weapons and armour, a new environment to explore, new story content and quests to dive into, and new Chaos Dungeons throughout the game’s world are just a few of the headlining additions that Fatesworn brings with it. There’s also a new soundtrack composed by Grant Kirkhope, which is a huge bonus as well, while the level cap has also been raised to 50. Check out the expansion’s launch trailer below.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning and its Fatesworn expansion are both available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The story sees the Fatesworn taking on the Niskaru and the forces of Chaos in one last battle. Along with a new environment called Mithros which consists of tundras and caverns, there’s also the city of Crownhold to explore. There are 25 new Chaos dungeons have also been added to each region in the game, providing procedurally generated challenges.

The Main Quest will take over six hours to complete but along with an increased level cap (to 50), new Twist of Fate cards, side quests and faction quests, and new enemies, there are 21 new weapons and shields. You can also acquire new accessories like rings and amulets, and encounter a new trader that will sell blind equipment boxes with rare set items. Stay tuned for more details en route to the expansion’s launch.

In the meantime, it provided another update on one of the new locations that players will visit – the Chaos Realm. Strange rifts begin to appear throughout Amalur with various twisted creatures emerging forth and causing trouble. Their origin is the Chaos Realm, described as a “warped, inverted version of our own natural world.” Along with “ravenous beasts”, players will have to deal with “tangled pathways” and “tainted magic.” Oh and new enemies have emerged in the Eldrith Mountains so there’s that.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch. Check out our official review here for more details. A release date for Fatesworn has yet to be announced but stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

THQ Nordic confirmed recently that Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning would be coming to Nintendo Switch on March 16th. It won’t just have a digital release though – Switch players can also pick up a physical edition. Even better is that the full game will be available on the cartridge with no downloads required.

There could still be patches that need downloading at launch but for those picky about conserving space on their Switch, not having to download chunks of the game is good news.
