Reckoning Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning won't arrive until February, but EA has some worthwhile incentives to help cement your desire to give the new RPG a try.

EA has lofty naming conventions to describe the upcoming pre-order gifts you'll be receiving with Reckoning, but dig past the jargon and there's some potentially fun in-game items you can lock down.

The "Destinies Choice Pack" includes three different armor sets, each tailored to a particular gameplay style. The "Fate-Touched Weapons Pack" brings with it an array of special weapons that will be made available to players, and which also show off the breadth of weapon options the game will include. The pack includes a charm, daggers, faeblades, a greatsword, longbow, longsword, hammer, scepter, and staff. Finally, the "Ultimate Treasure Hunter Pack" will give players a dowsing rod. Apparently, the dowsing rod's ability to sniff out potion reagents will turn you into an ultimate treasure hunter. So, look forward to that, I guess.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a brand new action role-playing franchise being crafted by a team that includes fantasy writer R.A. Salvatore, comic artist Todd McFarlane, and Morrowind/Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston.
