PROVIDENCE – 38 Studios LLC, Electronic Arts Inc. and Big Huge Games unveiled a new downloadable expansion pack for “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.”

In February, the Boston Globe said 38 Studios employed 300 in Providence, short of the 450 it promised to bring to Rhode Island in exchange for the R.I. Economic Development Corporation’s $75 million loan guarantee.

According to the EDC, the last “certified” number of employees for 38 Studios was 270, as of Nov. 1. The video game developer must meet the 450 target by Nov. 1, 2013, said an EDC spokeswoman.
