It has been roughly one year since Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning was released on modern platforms and THQ Nordic is finally ready to show a glimpse of the long-awaited DLC chapter. The first new bit of content for the series since its debut in 2012, the DLC expansion will be titled "Fatesworn" and will introduce players to the land of Gale Crossing.
In a post on the Steam community forums, THQ Nordic explains, "Centuries ago, Gale Crossing was an integral stop on the bustling trade route known as the Sativa Road, a treacherous passage over the mountains that brought wealth and industry to a region once considered unlivable. But all good things must come to an end. After series of catastrophic foreign wars, the price of Sativa Fiber dropped dramatically, devastating the Sativa industry and gutting the region’s importance as a source of this once-valuable reagent."

There's no description of any new gameplay mechanics, but the lore for Gale Crossing and Sativa Road is certainly fleshed out. While maybe not on the grand scale of the original campaign, Fatesworn should prove to be a solid chunk of extra content for one of the most overlooked action RPGs of the Xbox 360/PS3 era.
As for when players can expect this DLC, the post states that developer Big Huge Games is wrapping up the final stages of production. It's unlikely to make the first year anniversary of the remaster, but should be out before 2021 is over. As a glimpse into what a potential sequel might be for Kingdoms of Amalur, it should be exciting for fans that were robbed of the opportunity for more years ago.
