Amazon Game Studio is now hiring top talent for an ambitious new PC game project.
According to the job posting on Gamasutra, the new game will be using the latest technology, and whoever gets the job will work in Seattle with a team whose previous credits include Half Life 2, Left for Dead, Dota 2, Halo, Infamous, Shadows of Mordor and The Last of Us.
“Amazon is committed to gamers, and building great teams who are excited to use Twitch, the AWS cloud, and technical innovation to radically evolve gameplay,” Amazon said. “We believe that games have just scratched the surface in their power to unite players and will produce some of the future’s most influential voices in media and art.”
It’ll be interesting to see how exactly Amazon’s PC game will “use Twitch,” the gameplay streaming platform Amazon acquired last year in a $1 billion deal.
The giant online retailer has been developing free-to-play Facebook games since 2012, but seemed to get more serious in 2014, when it hired Portal developer Kim Swift and Far Cry 2 and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory developer Clint Hocking. In 2013, Halo writer Erik Nylund joined Amazon as its director of narrative design.
