The sad tale of the closure of 38 Studios and Big Huge Games and the cancellation of the Kingdoms of Amalur becomes even more tragic with each new scrap of information on the massively-multiplayer game.

Baltimore-based Big Huge Games, the subsidiary of 38 Studios responsible for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, was caught up in the company's complete meltdown and suddenly shuttered at the end of May.

For me, this week was great. The iOS title I am working on, Foodie Truck, is coming along great. The FPS that I am working on, ReKoil—Sorry, Adam—is also looking really amazing; both teams are killing it.

Reports are circulating that Kingdoms of Amalur creators 38 Studios has shut down Big Huge Games, the developers who helped build the hit action RPG that came out earlier this year.

Legendary The Elder Scrolls designer Ken Rolston proves himself one amazing combination thespian and salesman during his Gamescom presentation of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It's "an enemy-pounding fun-fest!"

I don't mean that Fable is for kids. I just mean that this game is giving off a very Fable vibe with its colour palette, magic and designs. Only, instead of cute people with big boots, there are angry knights stabbing anything that moves.

"Combat!" That's the thing that differentiates 38 Studios and Big Huge Games' Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning from your typical role-playing game fare, says the game's lead designer.
