Early coverage of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning showed us what seemed to be a slightly generic action RPG with some great names behind it (notably R.A. Salvatore and Todd McFarlane). However the latest trailer that gives viewers a guide to the various factions within the Amalur universe shows players something extra to get them interested…… some personality. With a graphical style set somewhere between the sharp realistic graphics of Skyrim and the cartoony style of Fable, Kingdoms seems to be presenting us with quite a unique setting.

The trailer goes on to describe the various factions available for the player to join in Amalur, all of which adhere to the fantasy staples of Assassins, Warriors and Mages. The trailer did imply that the player would be able to join more than one faction, possibly joining their skill trees together.  With this intriguing possibility and the stylish direction Amalur is taking, this may be an RPG to watch out for.

EA, 38 Studios and Big Huge Games are set to bring Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning to PC, PS3 and 360 on Feb 12 2012.
