After months of waiting, the assets that once belonged to shuttered development studio 38 Studios will go up for auction in November, including the IP rights to the Kingdoms of Amalur series.
The liquidation auction will last for just over a day, beginning on November 13 at 9 a.m. Eastern and running until November 14 at 12 p.m. A website has been set up outlining the assets, including technology and intellectual property rights, that will be available to the highest bidder.
While only one game -- Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning -- was ever released, the Amalur franchise was designed to be much more. An MMORPG, known as Project Copernicus, was in the works (see its leaked trailer below), complete with expansive lore. The Amalur rights include the MMO, the rights to create a sequel (something which includes the work already done on Reckoning 2), and the revenue still being generated by Reckoning.
