Amazon Games Studios was founded in 2012 and has seen a number of experienced developers join and leave the company in recent years. These titles mentioned previously, New world and Crucible, were two of the first three projects announced by the company. The third, Break away, was canceled last year and Kotaku sources say some unannounced extra games were canceled in parallel with today's layoffs.
