Update: As detailed in our original story below, Nighthawks—The Vampire RPG is a fantasy roleplayer that pulls from Sunless Sea's narrative style and Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines' dark atmosphere.

THQ Nordic has acquired Kingdoms of Amalur, as well as a number of other assets from developer 38 Studios.
Kingdoms of Amalur, for those unaware, is an action role-player that Tom scored 74 back in 2012. Under 38 Studios' guidance, it went on to launch a handful of DLC packs before the developer itself was derailed by legal problems. In late 2016, company founder Curt Schilling agreed a $2.5 million settlement with Rhode Island state, following the bankruptcy of the dev years earlier.
