What happens when you take a New York Times best-selling author, the creator of a successful comic book series, and the lead designer of a critically acclaimed role-playing game? Enter EA and 38 Studios’ Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

An epic fantasy RPG combining the talents of author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator and comic artist/writer Todd McFarlane, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston, Reckoning looks to be quite an amazing game-in-the-making if the recently released trailer is any indication.

The talent involved in the creation of the game is impressive to say the least and, as someone who sees much potential in both the evolution of games as an art form as well as a legitimate storytelling medium, I have to say I am quite interested to see how Reckoning will shape up.

But don’t take my word for it. Let the trailer and screenshots blow you away.
