Previously known simply as Project Mercury, Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios and EA finally give the Todd McFarlane, R.A. Salvatore and Ken Rolston powered role-playing game a name, promising open world exploration and fast-paced action combat in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios outs Project Mercury at the San Diego Comic-Con this month, giving con-goers the first look at the mysterious role-playing game that features the talents of R.A. Salvatore, Todd McFarlane and Ken Rolston.
With 38 Studios, Spawn creator and figure maven Tood McFarlane is throwing his hat in the MMO ring. Joining him is baseball pitcher Curt Schilling and R.A. Salvatore. The new developer is Schilling’s brainchild, and R.A. Salvatore is taking on the writing duties. Todd explains his role:
This isn’t about an R.A. story, or Todd artwork. This is about — is this, at the end of the day, going to be a cool game to play? And if the answer is yes, then we all did our jobs and there will be plenty of pats on the back to go around for everybody. Matter of fact, if people think it’s a Todd art game, then I’ve done my job wrong.
Todd sure uses the third person a lot.
