Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning Story DLC Coming In March

If you feel as though you've already mined the world of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning for every ounce of entertainment, more is on the way. EA, 38 Studios, and Big Huge Games have revealed details about the game's first story DLC, called the Legend of Dead Kel.

The DLC will be available on Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network, Steam, and Origin starting March 20. It adds a host of new features, most noteworthy among them is an entirely new landmass called Gallows End.

Here's the word from EA on what you can expect:

  • An Epic New Questline – The Legend of Dead Kel is only part of the story of Gallows End. It intertwines with numerous side quests, multiple dungeons to explore, and a colorful cast of characters
  • New Enemies, Dungeons, Items – Multiple new enemies and enemy variants, a new dungeon type: Dverga Fastings, three new Twists of Fate, eight new armor sets, eight new shields, and 18 new unique weapons
  • The Ultimate Player Housing – Gravehal Keep is more than just player housing, it's a massive estate with multiple buildings and a full retinue of retainers, each with their own back stories, side quests, perks, and quirks
  • Tons more to Explore – The Legend of Dead Kel DLC adds in more than 15% of additional land to traverse and explore in the already massively expansive world that is Amalur

They had me at "new enemies." Seriously. While I've been having a great time with the game, I feel like I've been killing the same four monsters for the past 20 hours.

  • Wow, this seems like it adds a LOT of stuff!
  • Sounds like some pretty solid DLC

  • cool!

  • Nice DLC, I have been enjoying this game and still haven't touched every side quest but this will be a great addition to the game.

  • The game got boring so I don't know if I am going to get this. Once you hit lvl 20-30, nothing is strong enough to take u down and it kind of kills any challenge.
  • Hmmmm...

  • Like this game a lot, but having an issue with it (just like EVERY other game with massive amounts of 'loot'). Please STOP giving me a backpack limit(I know you can upgrade it, but its not enough). Having to fine tune my inventory every time I pick up a new item in a dungeon is annoying. Who cares if its unrealistic; my character is already carrying like 20 weapons but he cant pick up that extra potion? Theres so much stuff available in the world and I dont like spending half the game in my inventory screen. Same complaint with Skyrim (but at least the 'backpack' is bigger). Fun game, though.
  • F'ing love this game!! This is how you pull of a massive scale RPG...............Bethesda.
  • Raised level cap?
  • Awesome, I've been waiting for some new content to challenge myself with. The House of Valor questline you get with the online pass was cool but I was kinda bummed when I found out the repeatable side-challenges don't give xp. My main character is currently in the mid-30's so sadly most of the side quests have become trivial as far as difficulty but it's still fun to just go out and explore all of the optional side areas and dungeons plus I also started up two more characters, one a pure thief and the other a combat/sorcery hybrid (my main is mostly might with a few points in the finesse and sorcery trees), to get a feel for some of the more powerful abilities in the sorcery and finesse trees. I just hope there's more story-based DLC on the way after this one as I feel like Reckoning only touches on a very small part of the overall world of Amalur.
  • Nice! I don't have the game, but that when I do this seems like it would be pretty worthwhile of a purchase. Glad to see some developers doing the right kind of support!

  • Awesome. New Weapons?? And they are actually adding a ton of gameplay. I wonder how much this will cost me.
  • Mod

    Sounds like some fun dlc. I still need to get my hands on this game though.

  • Day-umn. So is there going to be a complete edition I should wait for?
  • Nice amount of new content there. It seems like there's something missing in this game to me though.

  • Hopefully they will make the game more difficult so its worthplaying...
  • This is going to fall victim to the same thing the XBLA game "I am Alive" will....ME3!!!!!!! I seriously can't wait for that game! I have TWO characters to play through with before I play any other game or DLC!
  • Why wasn't this in the game to begin with?
  • This game was too easy. Seriously there was not one point in this game so far where I felt challenged at all. They made it too easy to power up fast, and make godly gear too fast. Up the difficulty, give me a challenge, otherwise I'll have to slap on Dark Souls.
  • this is good, i was wondering why the zombies are called son of kel, now i will know. man i love this game, i put so much time (more than 100h)...if the price is right, i will jump right ahead...
