Amazon Game Studios has announced three new PC games that are in development. These three new games are: Breakaway, New World and Crucible.
Breakaway is a 4v4 mythological sport brawler built for fast action, teamwork, and live-streaming. Players assemble a team from an expanding roster of legendary warriors, including the relentless gladiator Spartacus, the twisted sorceress Morgan Le Fay, and the bloodthirsty warlord Vlad the Impaler.
At the start of each round, warriors can summon persistent buildables onto the playing field that dynamically alter the game. Buildables can besiege foes, shield teammates, or create new pathways through the arena. Players fight for dominance across fabled locations such as El Dorado, Atlantis, and Styx. They battle to control the Relic-the center of Breakaway’s action-passing it to teammates, defending it from attackers, and smashing it into an opponent’s base to score.
Breakaway is powered by Amazon Lumberyard and integrates directly with Twitch. Breakaway introduces four new ways for the Twitch community to interact with broadcasters.
- Metastream allows streamers to customize their broadcasts with real-time stat overlays.
- Broadcaster Match Builder lets broadcasters invite their followers to join their matches.
- Broadcaster Spotlight adds to the excitement of streaming. It tells players when they’re in a match that’s being broadcast, and lets them follow the broadcaster with a single click.
- Stream+ gives broadcasters new ways to interact with their viewers through polls, and by allowing viewers to wager loyalty points that are redeemable for in-game rewards.
The second game, New World, is a massively multiplayer, open-ended sandbox game that allows players to carve out their own destiny with other players in a living, cursed land.
Players decide how to play, what to do, and whom to work with-or against-in an evolving world that transforms with seasons, weather, and time of day.
Players can band together to reclaim monster-haunted wilds and build thriving civilizations, or strike out alone, surviving in the face of supernatural terrors and murderous player bandits.
New World promises to feature emergent gameplay and rich social features, including deep Twitch integration with broadcaster-led events, achievements, and rewards..
Last but not least, Crucible is a battle to the last survivor on a hostile, alien world. Players choose and customize heroes, making alliances and betraying allies on their path to victory, and an additional player heightens the drama by triggering events, live-streaming the battles, and interacting with viewers.
Amazon Game Studios has only released footage from its first game, Breakaway, that can be viewed below!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Yaaaaawn*
Obviously cash grabs —__—
What a disappointment!!
Breakaway, more like stay away. The other two games sound way more interesting.
Multiplayer only… Automatic bypass for me… What a waste of resources…
looks like it might be fun, Id prefer bigger arenas and more.players though. Hopefully someone brings back UT Fragball.
More multiplayer rubbish. *sigh
Yeah… Not my cup of tea. Moving along swiftly.
only multiplayer?good because you can’t pirate!
All 3 of these are very basic and uninspired ideas, not to mention that they are all entirely online based and offer nothing outside of that realm. I’ll pass on all 3 thanks. Amazon clearly wants that easy “I don’t have to try, but I want the whole cake” approach already.
I would love to see Amazon invest millions into making some quality RTS games, complete with original ideas rather than simple copy+paste jobs. If Amazon wants to grab me, then they have to try pretty hard.
garbage
These all seem like games that were green-lit in a board room after a bunch of non-gamers looked at analytics for what games are popular right now. Like some algorithm generated game concepts most likely to garner mainstream consumer support.
Right on the money!
What is this lame a$$ $hiT!
I hate such synthetic, artificial products made by people who know nothing about games and sale charts are the only thing they draw conclusions from.
