This is Amazon Games, a video game development studio

We know Amazon for being a great online store worldwide and each time for offering other services such as Most popular eBooks, Kindle, or an increasingly used streaming video platform with more titles available, Amazon Prime Video. But it also has other important divisions and this is the case of Amazon Games, the video game studio that will release two promising titles in 2021 and is already working to continue launching new games for PC.

What is it

Amazon Games is a video game developer studio of the large online sales company. Since 2011 the company has developers for mobile games but since 2014 they announced for the first time the development of computer games. Currently the company has teams in various cities around the world with all kinds of projects and games that we will delve into in the next paragraphs like New World or Lostark. In the coming years, many more titles are expected by the different studios and they have the collaboration of EA, Sony, Riot Games, Epic Games or Rockstar. In addition, as they explain from their help page, Amazon has collaboration and integration with tools such as Twitch, Amazon Prime or AWS technology.

As of 2021, Amazon Games has four different studios where they are working on different projects. Amazon Games’ main studio is in San Diegto, California. There are also Relentless studios in Seattle (Washington) or Orange County, California. S in the latter, located in Irvine, where the company is working on the production of the video game New World. The last of the company’s video game studios is in Montreal, Canada. It is a headquarters where they are looking to train new employees to continue expanding the game development team, the titles that arrive soon.

Games

At the moment there are not many games that Amazon Games has ready. Specific, we can buy now New World and Lostark which will be available for free download from fall 2021 from the Lostark website or from Amazon Games. Amazon launched Crucible but it closed in 2020 ensuring that your development team would move on to work on other projects. Until November 9, 2020, the servers were active and a refund could be requested for purchases on Steam. At this time there are other games.

New World

New World is Amazon Games’ flagship game that will be available fall 2021 with an open beta from September 9-12. It is an open world MMO where you will have to move to the island of Aetérnum with all kinds of creatures, plants and resources that you will have to take advantage of. Aetérnum is a fictional and “supernatural 17th century” island where you will have to survive and improve. Unlike other similar games there will be no classes but we will advance as we want. You should collect, upgrade, get weapons, complete missions and improve the level of your character. In addition, you will also have to choose from several different factions: looters, union or alliance.

A game with all kinds of modes that will be released on September 28, 2021 and will be available exclusively for PC through Amazon or Steam. In addition to the price of the game itself, there will be options to unlock or buy objects with real money and purchases within the game itself, as is usual. It will be available in Spanish from launch in addition to English, Portuguese, Italian, French, German and Polish.
