Project Copernicus World Fly-Through

Here's a first look at Amalur in Project Copernicus. Watch this space for more.

Came here after reading "Press Reset". What a story. Is obvious so many people poured their heart into this, only for it all to come crashing down in the most spectacular fashion due to mismanagement and bravado.

Every few months I look up Project Copernicus, hoping and praying that there will be some news, some hope, of this being resurrected. Please don't let this amazing game just fade away. The demand is there - you have the following to support this game. It would be a huge success. Please don't give up on it.

I just can't believe that they went bankrupt, despite the fact they have made an AWESOME game named: Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning. I really hope that someday this sequel will be released.

The Amalur IP - including Copernicus - was just acquired by THQ Nordic!

0:47 is easily the best space. A beautiful stylization of greco-inspired architecture that just screams grand and powerful. Can't imagine the kind of business that would be done at such a site.

Almost 10 years later and the art style is superior than many others rpgs, hope this project return by THQ Nordic, i want to explore it daaamn

It's too bad this game never made it to release. Kingdoms of Amalur is easily one of the best next-generation RPGs I've played and, according to reviews, one of the best RPGs that others have played as well. The world and mechanical polish of Amalur is intoxicating, playing Project Copernicus would have been amazing! RIP

HOW SOMETHING THIS NICELY DONE FAIL IN THE VG INDUSTRY, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, not to mention its years old and looks better than xbox1 and ps4 graphics

[Sinisterorange]

They should just run a kick start type program to finish the game, I'm sure they can raise enough.

[blackdesertsage]

Amalur would have been a great franchise

The art of this is still better then some games today

An update about what's going on with the assets and code: One of the devs has access to the hard drive which contains the assets. The problem is: She currently doesn't have the password to access them, and the one who did, sadly passed away. But she's still on a quest to try to get on hold of them. She has spoken to THQ Nordic about KoA, but nothing more than that is mentioned in the article.

This video is where gamers learn the line between business and game development. This video was made on one side of that line, the one we're all rooting for. It was cut down because of people on the other side of the line. People that, just like us, mind you, cannot fathom how the other side works.
Hence, 5 years of work, promising as it is to *us*, can get cut down by *them*, simply because two different worlds collide, and they do not see the investment returned.

Such a gorgeous world. I get teary eyed thinking I may not be able to explore it! >n<

[Tearasynn]

So proud of my dad, Paul Jury <3 He is helping to create this beautiful world. I really hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do! :)

Thanks for this preview. I love the little details in the world you are creating for Copernicus. Keep up the good work!!

This is great. But I really want a single player sequel to Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning. It's about time.

It is truly a shame and it saddens me that this beautiful game is never going to have anyone running through the halls, pwning noobs and just having fun.

It really saddens me to see such a beautiful world being so empty. A world that took thousands of hours to create. It really is sad.

So pumped after THQ Nordics acquisition!!!
