REDWOOD SHORES, CA. – JANUARY 11, 2012 – The massive
world of Amalur will finally break open when Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ:EA) and 38 Studios, LLC release a demo for Kingdoms of Amalur: ReckoningTM on January 17, 2012. Available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation®3
computer entertainment system and PC, the demo will give players a
taste of the rich, diverse, action-packed world of Amalur, and will also
unlock special items in the final game.  

In addition to the demo, 38 Studios has teamed up with BioWare to create a cross promotion to reward fans of both Reckoning and Mass Effect 3*. By playing the upcoming demos for both Reckoning and Mass Effect 3, gamers will receive special in-game items, including Mass Effect inspired, Omni-blade daggers in Reckoning and special Reckoning-themed armor and assault rifle in Mass Effect 3 designed by award-winning artist Todd McFarlane.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to deliver this massive one-two punch with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Mass Effect 3. We wanted to provide fans of the Mass Effect franchise with a unique set of rewards for diving into the expansive universe of Reckoning,” said Curt Schilling, Chairman and Founder of 38 Studios. 

“We are excited to be collaborating with 38 Studios to bring pieces inspired by the Mass Effect universe into the world of Reckoning and to have items designed by Todd McFarlane in Mass Effect 3,”
said Dr. Ray Muzyka, General Manager of EA’s BioWare Label and
Co-Founder of BioWare. “This is an awesome way to reward our fans with
unique content that not only looks cool, but also delivers some great
in-game benefits.”

By playing the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo,gamers will receive two unlocks for Mass Effect 3 when the highly anticipated game releases on March 6, 2012, both designed by the renowned creator of Spawn, Todd McFarlane:

  • Reckoner Knight Armor:
    This armor will maximize damage done in close-quarters combat while a
    beefed–up power cell feeds energy into weapon systems to increase
    projectile velocity.
  • The Chakram Launcher: This
    weapon uses a fabricator to manufacture lightweight, explosive
    ammunition discs. This weapon is earned after completing the Reckoning demo and watching the trailer at the end.
 
By playing the upcoming Mass Effect 3 demo, fans will unlock the following items for Reckoning when the game launches on February 7, inspired by Mass Effect:
  • N7 Armor:
    Players can unlock special armor inspired by Commander Shepard’s iconic
    N7 battle armor including Helm, Cuirass, Gauntlets, Chausses and
    Greaves.
  • Onmiblade Daggers: A
    holographic blade stemming from Commander Shepard’s Omni-Tool, the
    Omni-blade allows players to stab enemies in close combat. Once players
    install and play the Mass Effect 3 demo, they will unlock the daggers.
The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
demo features the introduction to the game, allowing players to
experience the game’s Tutorial Mode and a portion of its large, open
world. Players will create and customize their hero and drop right into
the action. Once players master the basics, they will have 45 minutes to
explore the vast world of Amalur and begin to embark upon a quest that
could redefine their character’s destiny forever.

I better be able to take the helmet off of that armor. There's no excuse for Bioware to have not learned their lesson in this regard, by now.

It does look amazing, though! And I remember being mildy interested in Kingdoms before this point anyway, so the cross promotion gets bonus approval points in my book.  Also, it's good for Vanguards given the close-quarters focus. It's like the stars have alligned to give me this armor after how much I liked the Blood Dragon set.


Edit: Yes, yes you can toggle the helmet off of this armor! It's freaking perfect- Vanguards everywhere, meet your new second skin.

That's not so bad. I might try the demo, as long as I don't have to deal with Origin...

That's probably how the demo will be tracked by ME3, though.

I seem to recall reading somewhere on here that helmet toggle is in the game, so hopefully you can wear it without the helmet.

Also a thought: does this mean the demo releases may coincide? January 17 for ME3?

The DA2 demo gave you free stuff as well, and that was just linked to your BSN/Origin account. But then again, that was before this entire Origin fiasco...

Weapon looks cool, the armor not so much. Makes me think about the collectors armor, it seemed cool at first, but I never used it ingame. Also its nice we can get this without paying for something :)

Don't think it's the 17th, it wasn't mentioned on the Xbox Live marketplace preview by Major Nelson (which mentioned Kingdoms of Amalur demo for 17th). But i guess it's a sign that the demo will be out before Kingdoms of Amalur arrives-

I was planning on playing the demo for each game anyway, so this is a great little bonus for me. Thanks for posting!

Do you have to play the demo before the release date to get it?

Don't think so, it's not like they can run out of digital armor sets to give out.

That armour looks a bit daft, but the weapon sounds cool. And I can hardly complain because its free. More weapons are always welcome - at this rate I'm going to start ME3 with all my ME2 weapons (hopefully the Geth assault rifle and the DLC guns carry over), the entire N7 weapons kit, the Argus Rifle and now this gun. So much choice!

Although annoyingly my exams start on the 19th so hopefully the offer will still stand when I'm finished.

I'm gonna wear that armor whenever there's a cutscene with Shepard hugging someone and take screenshots. Then I'll make awkward memes out of them.

That armor will fit my Vanguard perfectly.


...Unless there's no helmet toggle.
