But their ambition remains. As proof, the creation of this new studio!<\/p>\n<h2>A new Studio for a new challenge<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the business failure of Crucible and the long wait and delays for New World, Amazon is not losing confidence. Indeed, the retail giant has decided to create a new studio with a clear objective. This new studio, Amazon Games, based in Montreal, will be responsible for developing games with big budgets, or as we&#8217;ve come to call them, triple A titles.<\/p>\n<p>This Canadian entity will therefore join the other Amazon studios, located in Seattle and San Diego. The new studio is currently in the process of recruiting staff , but Amazon says former Tom Clancy&#8217;s Rainbow Six Siege developers will be in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the studio&#8217;s first title will be an online multiplayer game. Besides this bit of info, we have no clue as to what kind of game will &#8211; perhaps &#8211; make this studio famous. An FPS? An RPG?<\/p>\n<h2>A word from the Director<\/h2>\n<p>Xavier Marquis, creative director of the Montreal studio, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Building upon 8 years of experience with Siege, we are excited to start with a blank page and the creative freedom to create a completely unique experience in the multiplayer space.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For his part, Christoph Hartman, vice president of Amazon Games, add to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazongames.com\/en-us\/news\/articles\/amazon-games-opens-development-studio-montreal\">official article<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Montreal\u2019s rich vein of creative talent will be a valuable asset as we continue building our development and publishing teams. The highly skilled and experienced team at our new Montreal studio shares our commitment to creating best-in-class online games, and brings with them a wealth of knowledge and passion for building deep, community-focused multiplayer experiences. I look forward to watching them invent on behalf of customers as they grow their team and develop their first project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We will therefore have to wait a long time before discovering this new project, but in the meantime, Amazon&#8217;s efforts, as well as all of our eyes, now rest on New World, the MMO <a href=\"https:\/\/indiesmasher.com\/2020\/07\/11\/new-world-the-release-of-the-game-delayed-until-spring-2021\/\">recently postponed to August 31, 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon seems to be walking on ice when it comes to game development and publishing.
