Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an open-world action role-playing game set in Amalur, a mysterious and magical new fantasy world created by New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore. Brought to life visually through the trademark style of renowned artist and Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, Reckoning brings a new level of visual style and visceral action combat to the RPG genre. The game is being developed under the leadership of Ken Rolston, lead designer of the critically acclaimed RPGs Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Reckoning combines intense third-person action combat with deep exploration, expansive character development and customization, and immersive storytelling in an extraordinarily detailed fantasy universe. Gamers begin their journey when they miraculously rise from the dead, wielding dangerous new magic capable of changing the very Fate of Amalur. Thrust into a brutal war between multiple races, factions, and alliances, players vie for the secrets of their immortality and the ancient evil that threatens to consume the world.
The lore of Kingdoms of Amalur spans an epic course of 10,000 years of history created by R. A. Salvatore. Reckoning captures a moment in this history, the tale of a singular hero capable of reshaping the fate of the world of Amalur. Every building, tree, and creature has a clear and defined history within this immersive world filled with extraordinary landscapes, mysterious cities, colorful characters, and fantastic creatures inspired by the legendary art style of Todd McFarlane.

Really looking forward to this one as well. Some of the guys that worked on TES and some of the guys that worked on Titan Quest making a third person action-RPG, label me hyped.
Some few demo details (17th January release.) though mostly just generic press details about the game with a further link to the actual release details regarding the X360 console for this month.

This was a bloody long demo. I fired it up immediately, after I was done with The Darkness II's demo. Had to quit it when the clock timer told me I had 45 mins to explore the remaining area, as I had to leave for work. I'll probably end up playing it in distant future.
This game is awesome! Enjoyed myself tremendously with the demo, lets hope it leaks soon.
The combat is fast and smooth, only the camera movement seemed slightly off, but I noticed no major flaws. It might be a tad on the easy side, but who cares.
Yeah, a bit buggy though. Had a few awkward one like no face animation when an NPC would talk, major frame drops in the inventory screen with an enchanted weapon or meshes just flipping out here and there - though all of these were outside of the intro area and they manifested in a minor way.
I played the 45 min demo last night and I was blown away. It plays like a cross between an awesome action RPG and mmorpg like WoW, but without the hangups.
Crafting, Alchemy, Smithing, Class custumization, Huge variety of purple,green, blue,white items WoW style.
The graphics are beautiful and don't look dark and muddy like most modern games (gow etc).
It has a slight Fable/WoW feel to it, but SO much better, I never liked Fable or WoW, but this had me hooked. I didn't notice how fast those 45 minutes went by.
I'm getting it!! The story has to be great, as the game script is by R.A Salvatore, the dude behind ALL Dungeons & Dragons novels.
played it ... pass to much candy bloom and WoW and the story is silly... if this is EA`s take on fable well then they failed... why ? you may ask when a SD console as a WII has a better game then this crap ... this game beats all 2012 games out there
Of course there is. Remember the Catwoman SP content for Arkham City being unlocked and downloadable for JTAG users? It used the online pass system to unlocked this particular content to be playable.
