PROVIDENCE --

The video game company owned by former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has released its much-anticipated first game.

Providence-based 38 Studios released the single-player role-playing game "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" on Tuesday. Schilling was on hand at a gaming store in Bellingham, Mass., where people lined up well before its midnight release.

The Providence Journal reported that about 150 people showed up. Schilling said the game's debut was "nerve-wracking but exciting."

38 Studios was founded in Massachusetts but lured to Rhode Island in 2010 after state officials offered it a $75-million loan guarantee. The state said its backing would help the company bring hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars of tax revenue to the state.
