EA has announced a crossover between Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Mass Effect 3. Playing the demo for Kingdoms of Amalur will unlock two Reckoning-inspired in-game items in Mass Effect 3, while playing the Mass Effect 3 demo will unlock armor and a weapon in Kingdoms of Amalur.


Playing Mass Effect 3 will unlock N7 armor and omni-blades in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. The armor is "inspired by Commander Shepard's iconic N7 battle armor including Helm, Cuirass, Gauntlets, Chausses and Greaves." The weapons are omni-blade daggers meant for close combat, and EA describes them as "stemming from Commander Shepard's Omni-Tool." The items will be unlocked in Kingdoms of Amalur when it's released on February 7th.


Meanwhile, playing Amalur will lead to Reckoner Knight Armor and a Chakram Launcher weapon in Mass Effect 3. EA says the armor "will maximize damage done in close-quarters combat while a beefed–up power cell feeds energy into weapon systems to increase projectile velocity," and that the launcher "uses a fabricator to manufacture lightweight, explosive ammunition discs." The items will be available in Mass Effect 3 when it launches on March 6th.

The Kingdoms of Amalur demo will be released on January 17th, while the Mass Effect 3 demo is due later this month. Last week, additional items were also announced for Mass Effect 3 in the form of pre-order bonuses.
