EA's answer to.. no one?

EA's answer to.. no one?Today EA's secret pet project, 'Project Mercury', from their new 38 Studios was announced to it's true form...

EA moves to tighten their gauntlet hold onto the RPG series. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is planned for release next year on the 3 major platforms, EA have gone all out for this game recruiting the fantasy writer R.A. Salvatore for the story.

Spawn creator Todd McFarlane will lend his artistic talents and Ken Rolston, the lead designer for the last 2 Elder Scrolls, will be the captain of this fine crew and ship, 38 Studios. This team plan to create a giant open-world single player RPG experience to rival most likely.. umm... their own Dragon Age 2.

Ken Rolston
We have added something new that we've always wanted from the genre: a fast-paced, graphically stimulation action combat experience with fluid control and immersive, discoverable gameplay fans haven't seen before in other fantasy RPGs
