Amalur-based Project Copernicus MMO Gets Trailer, Likely Release Date

The past week has been quite tense for 38 Studios, the developer behind the recent Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning action RPG but, in between the financial turmoil, its long awaited Project Copernicus online game has received a new trailer and a likely release date.

Reckoning impressed many with its impressive RPG mechanics and action-oriented gameplay, so quite a lot of people are now awaiting the online game based on the universe, which is codenamed Project Copernicus.

While we haven't heard a lot from 38 Studios about the MMO in recent months, both a trailer and a possible release date, via Joystiq, appeared yesterday.

According to Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee, who took part in several talks with 38 Studios bosses over a major loan guaranteed by the state, Project Copernicus is scheduled to arrive sometime in June, 2013.

While that may seem a bit soon for an online game of its size, the new trailer, which you can see above, definitely shows a rich world that's ready to welcome lots of players.

As of yet, neither the release date nor the trailer have been confirmed by 38 Studios.
