The first ever trailer for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has been released to reveal some pretty impressive RPG action, with epic spells, hideous creatures, sprawling dungeons and fantasy lands all present and accounted for.

Mix in a bit of dramatic commentary, brutal melee combat and intricate runes and you’ve got Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning from Big Huge Games, 38 Studios and EA.

But it’s so much more than that.

Currently in the works at all three houses (with development carried out at Big Huge), Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning can also boast the creative input of Todd McFarlane (creator of the Spawn comic series), R.A. Salvatore (25-time New York Times best-selling author) and Ken Rolston (lead designer on Elder Scrolls Morrowind and Oblivion).

Due for release next year on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, we’ll definitely keep our eyes peeled for new information on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning in the future, but until then you can watch the very first (exciting) trailer for the fantasy action game below, and take a gander at a huge batch of new screenshots:
