Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning Fatesworn

A new Fatesworn expansion is in development for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning and will reach Switch in 2022, THQ Nordic has announced.

The game originally released in 2012. Over the past year or so, THQ Nordic has been bringing an updated version to various platforms, including Switch. Fatesworn will be appearing on most platforms later this month, though the Switch version won’t be ready to go until 2022.

As for what Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning – Fatesworn includes, we have the following overview:

Darksiders III comparison

A new video has come online that serves as a graphical comparison for Darksiders III on Switch and Xbox One.

It does look like the team behind the Switch port had to make some sacrifices in order to get the game running on the console. We can see changes in things like assets and textures, which have been scaled back on the system.

One of the most important aspects of any game is performance, and while we don’t have much insight into this here, there have been some early reports of inconsistency. Darksiders III aims to hit 30 FPS on Switch, though it can vary depending on where you are and how much is happening on screen. The frame rate can fluctuate above and below that number quite a bit.
