Amazon is working on “an ambitious new PC game project”

Amazon’s ambition to become a major video game developer is well known, but so far the companies video game endeavors have been limited to mobile devices. However, Amazon is currently putting together a “dream team” of video game developers who will be working on what the company has described as “an ambitious new PC game project using the latest technology.”

Amazon has wanted to become a major force in the video game scene for years. And now, it’s hired a dream team of video game developers who are working on “an ambitious new PC game project using the latest technology,” it says. The company revealed this information in a series of recruiting ads on video game site Gamasutra. It’s looking to hire more developers. In the ad, Amazon says it has already nabbed folks who worked on such games as Portal, World of Warcraft, BioShock, Half Life 2, Left for Dead, Dota 2, Halo, Infamous, Shadows of Mordor and The Last of Us. They are building new games that will use Amazon’s cloud (Amazon Web Services), Twitch (the video site that broadcasts gameplay that Amazon bought in 2014 for $940 million) and “technical innovation to radically evolve gameplay,” the ad says.
