Facts

Novelist R. A. Salvatore created the Amalur setting for 38 Studios' planned MMORPG Project Copernicus; Reckoning used that lore as a standalone action RPG.
Ken Rolston was among the lead designers; Todd McFarlane is credited for art as executive art director rather than a day-to-day developer.
Two post-launch story expansions shipped: The Legend of Dead Kel and Teeth of Naros.
