As if the names of these two games aren't enough to cause feelings of faintness for RPG players everywhere, Bioware and 38Studios have announced a cross promotion between the two. Demos for both Mass Effect 3 and Kingdoms of Amalur will be released soon and those who play both will receive in-game rewards.
ME3 demo players will unlock the following items in Reckoning:
- N7 Armor: Players can unlock special armor inspired by Commander Shepard’s iconic N7 battle armor including Helm, Cuirass, Gauntlets, Chausses and Greaves.
- Onmiblade Daggers: A holographic blade stemming from Commander Shepard’s Omni-Tool, the Omni-blade allows players to stab enemies in close combat. Once players install and play the Mass Effect 3 demo, they will unlock the daggers.
Reckoning demo players will unlock the following ME 3 items:
- Reckoner Knight Armor: This armor will maximize damage done in close-quarters combat while a beefed–up power cell feeds energy into weapon systems to increase projectile velocity.
- The Chakram Launcher: This weapon uses a fabricator to manufacture lightweight, explosive ammunition discs. This weapon is earned after completing the Reckoning demo and watching the trailer at the end.
