If you’ve been waiting patiently for Kingdoms of Amalur to make a comeback, recent developments might have just sparked your excitement again. THQ Nordic has quietly filed a trademark for the name “Fatekeeper,” and fans of the fantasy RPG series are buzzing with speculation that this could be a hint at a new chapter in the Amalur saga.

What makes this particularly intriguing is the timing and the name itself. The word “Fate” is deeply woven into the lore of Kingdoms of Amalur. Players take on the role of the “Fateless One,” a character who defies destiny, and the remastered DLC was called Fatesworn. So the trademark “Fatekeeper” feels like more than a coincidence.

Adding fuel to the fire, Kaiko Games, the studio responsible for the Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster and its DLC, has been hiring for roles linked to an “existing IP,” which fans believe could be the original Amalur universe. THQ Nordic’s upcoming showcase on August 1 has gamers eagerly waiting, hoping that “Fatekeeper” will finally get an official reveal.

Of course, it’s important to temper expectations. THQ Nordic hasn’t confirmed any connection yet, and the company owns several other franchises that could also be related to this trademark. Still, the pieces fit together nicely for long-time Amalur fans.

So, what can we expect if this turns out to be a sequel? New worlds to explore, expanded storylines, and more of that rich lore that made the original game a cult classic. Until then, all eyes are on August 1, when THQ Nordic’s event promises to bring exciting news.

For now, “Fatekeeper” remains a tantalizing mystery one that could finally bring the Kingdoms of Amalur back to life.
