Sliced your way through everything Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has to offer? Bravo sir, you must be exhausted. There’s tons of it! Now get ready for some more.

Out on March 20th, the action RPG’s first batch of meaningful DLC is called Legend of Dead Kel, EA has announced. Expect a new questline that will take you to an entirely new continent. Called Gallows End the landmass apparently “gigantic.”

In addition to this there’s new enemies, dungeons, items, player housing and more. Below you’ll find full details, courtesy of EA themselves. Look for "Legend of Dead Kel" March 20th for 800MSP.

  • An Epic New Questline — The Legend of Dead Kel is only part of the story of Gallows End. It intertwines with numerous side quests, multiple dungeons to explore and a colorful cast of characters
  • New Enemies, Dungeons, Items — Multiple new enemies and enemy variants, a new dungeon type: Dverga Fastings, three new Twists of Fate, eight new armor sets, eight new shields and 18 new unique weapons 
  • The Ultimate Player Housing — Gravehal Keep is more than just player housing, it’s a massive estate with multiple buildings and a full retinue of retainers, each with their own back stories, side quests, perks and quirks
  • Tons more to Explore — The Legend of Dead Kel DLC adds in more than 15% of additional land to traverse and explore in the already massively expansive world that is Amalur

  • Sweet
  • Uh oh... better get a move on with KoA but with ME3 around the corner plus Binary Domain lined up till then its going to be hard. Why oh why cannot weekends have 76 hours??
  • Hope we get some good achievements
  • I just bought the game and I've been enjoying it so far. Its a bit weird(especially the minimap) but it's still pretty fun.
  • I hope its better than full game , been disapointed so far.
  • out on march 20th, and then it says no dates or prices yet :o so is march 20th official or not? :o Anyway looking forward to this! eventho i haven't completely finished it yet xD
  • Seems rather big. Prefer "expansions" over these small DLCs, even though it seems a bit early. Hope we get a Gold edition at some point.
  • This big a DLC this soon after release? My spider sense is tingling...
  • Nice ! Will gimme a reason to dig this out again once I've bitchslapped the reapers....
  • I need to quit bullshitting and beat this damn game.
  • Wow-thats not dlc thats an expansion pack!!! Cant wait
  • a new continent this soon after release? i want to buy this game but i hope this isnt just another "unlock code" for stuff that is already on the disc
  • Sweet! I 1000ed this game this week, and as long as there are new cheevos, I'll snatch this up...after ME3 and RE: ORC of course ;)
  • I too will give this game a shot sometime....after I also bitchslap the Reapers.
  • Not sure if it is an unlock code. The game is already massive. You never know about these things though. I guess if it's 108kb to download then we'll know for sure.
  • Why does it say March 20th yet say no dates?
  • Now I gotta play more Amalur. I'll look at it this way: 6 more days until Mass Effect 3, that means 6 days I could play Amalur.
  • Bought!!!!
  • Sold! Thank You!
  • add a new difficulty lvl while your at it Big Huge... Games entirely too easy... It's like the very later lvls of Diablo 2.. tho with no Nightmare or Hell mode to offset your godly items and godly skills.. If you check out the map.. I think, imo, is that they purposely left off the entire bottom corner for dlc... which is fine by me... i had a feeling a new continent would be in the works...
  • will be saving some points for this. Loving KoA :)
  • I want to pick up this great game but i'm holding off until they obvious;y release a KOA:Reckoning GOTY edition with all the dlc that will be released
  • Now if they will just fix the game breaking quest bugs...
  • When I bought this game, I bought it for the ME3 promotion... however it's actually been pretty fun for me- more than I expected at least. (Suffice it to say that it's a "keeper"!) ;) I am intrigued by the DLC, and will probably get it sooner or later. :)
  • Depending on price, I might check this out. ME3 first though.
  • EA confirmed the price at 800 MS Points/$9.99 across all platforms.
  • A month and half after release, 800 points and what sounds like alot of content. Maybe developers are starting to get this dlc thing right for once...
  • any word on new achievements? I only have like 350G after 27 hours of playtime, but no achievements and it's a DotW buy... It sucks to be a poor student fml
  • @#8 Most game companies the programmers, artists, and writers haven almost nothing to do for a month or two leading up to a game launch. It's almost all QA testing, bug fixing, and marketing. So they usually have them start on a DLC so they aren't just sitting around doing nothing.
  • Ok that about does it. I'm getting this game the second it's on sale ANYWHERE. The only reason I haven't gotten it is because of other stuff I have to play, but it looks flipping awesome.
  • @#20 I totally agree. As soon as i saw the map i knew the bottom half would be used for dlc. There has to be a point in rpg games where you do literally become the unbeatable legend that your built up to be through out the game tho.
  • I just passed 80hrs mark playing this and I'm not even at last portion of the map=] This DLC will have to definitely wait=P
  • This DLC sounds fun, I'll definitely be getting it. Still in the first 10 hours of the game though.
  • @23 - What bugs did you encounter? Just wondering, as I haven't run in to any (yet), nor have I really heard anyone else saying they had. @25 - Alright, we'll let you know when they post the price.
  • Wow, big DLC for a big game. Just under 50 hours in and I've only just finished off all quests in Dalentarth. That's roughly a quarter of the game. Damn! Looking forward to it, though. Love the game.
  • Damn! i've been putting serious hours (56 so far) into this game and I JUST got to the Wolds! Definetly getting this massive bit of DLC, but not on day one. Too many games still need playing and with ME3, SFxT, and RE:ORC coming out this month theres just not enough time! T_T
  • I'd love to see alot of DLC or at least on par with Fallouts number of releases, they definitely need to add some more enemy and item models.
  • Are there new achievements that come with the dlc or not. I was just wondering because there have not been any new updates.
  • i bought this dlc it kicks ass and adds 150gs lol
  • Just started this game and already looking forward to this. Awesome!
