The press release states the new DLC takes place after the Crystal War. Rumors have begun to spread of a new threat, rising in the far west, the icy lands of Mithros. It claims Telogrus- the God of Chaos- has awoken, and is gathering followers to throw the whole world into turmoil.
Players will find a brand new storyline, environments, quests, missions, Chaos Realm dungeons all over Amalur, the new Chaos gameplay mechanic, weapons, armor, enemies, and more. The level-cap will also be raised to 50, and will feature a soundtrack by Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, Grabbed by the Ghoulies).
