Just a few weeks ahead of the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase, a hint has emerged that could anticipate one of its most anticipated announcements. According to the European public register, the company has applied for the Fatekeeper trademark, and its internal reference is clearly linked to the publisher, which has sparked speculation about a direct sequel to Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning.

Although there is no official confirmation, the registration was published on July 15, 2025, and is in the “published application” state, under the reference “THQN/069”. The associated Nice classification includes classes 9 and 41, common in video games and interactive entertainment services, which reinforces the theory that we are facing a completely new IP or a direct sequel to the Amalur universe.

THQ Nordic registers Fatekeeper: a sequel to Kingdoms of Amalur?

The possibility gains even more strength when recalling that Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning was already revived with a remastering on current consoles, and that the publisher has shown interest in revitalizing franchises with good potential. The name Fatekeeper —literally “Guardian of fate”— fits with the setting of the Amalur universe, centered precisely on controlling and altering fate.

Additionally, the registration arrives just before THQ Nordic’s digital event, scheduled for August 1, 2025, which makes us think that we might see a first teaser or formal announcement within the showcase itself. For now, there are no details about platforms, but Xbox would be a logical destination, given that Re-Reckoning is already available in its catalog and was well received on consoles.
