UPDATED: Kingdoms of Amalur studio website seemingly up and running
UPDATE #1
Since the story was published, the website in question has been updated with the following text:
"Amid the maelstrom of recent press, we realize it’s unlikely you’re here to visit the new occupants; namely, us. Meh. Our apologies. That being said, if you’re looking for updates on the former tenants: Curt Shilling, Green Monster Games, etc. Try here.
Otherwise, it’s business as usual. Please excuse the mess while we move in."
So what are we looking at here? Has the 38 Studios name/brand been seconded for something else entirely non-games related (its still shown in the topic navigation) or is the website itself some sort of attempt at viral marketing?
Regardless, this is certainly something that we'll keep our eyes on.
ORIGINAL STORY
After the messy disbandment of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning developer 38 Studios last year, you would be forgiven for thinking that was the last that we would have seen of the troubled studio.

Not so apparently.
As the 38 Studios website has a number of maintenence messages plastered across including "Please excuse the mess, we're moving in" and "Relaunch" to name just a couple.
You can take a look at the website here.
What do you guys think? Does this seem like a meaningful indication to you of a relaunch for the developer and if so, would you like to see more Kingdoms of Amalur?
Sound off below!
