Kingdoms of Amalur gets bloody with its first gameplay trailer

The upcoming RPG will give you plenty of ways to turn monsters into pulp.

38 Studios has finally released the first gameplay trailer for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Curt Schilling’s first game is actually looking pretty impressive. The level design clearly owes a lot to World of Warcraft, but the combat animations are far more cinematic than anything you’re likely to see in a current RPG and there’s a nice assortment of destructive spells and weapons. It may be standard RPG fare, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing when you’ve got Elder Scrolls veteran Ken Rolston leading the design.

The new trailer and a few new screenshots are below. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will be available for the PS3, the Xbox 360, and the PC, and is scheduled for release sometime in 2012.
