Amazon Games is adding serious firepower to its roster, today announcing a partnership with independent studio Glowmade – which is currently working on a brand-new IP. Composed of game dev veterans with experience working on Fable, Little Big Planet, Battlefield, and Horizon Zero Dawn, Amazon is hopeful the new partnership will be a fruitful one.
Specifics on the upcoming game are scarce, but Glowmade has revealed its new IP will be a "creative online co-op experience for Amazon Games." That's not much to go off, but it already sounds a bit like Little Big Planet. At the time of writing, there is no indication as to when Glowmade will offer a sneak peek at its upcoming title.
"The Glowmade team has been working incredibly hard on our exciting new IP, and Amazon Games has been a great partner,” Jonny Hopper, Glowmade studio head, said. “The Amazon Games team’s commitment to helping us deliver on our creative vision has been amazing. We can't wait to show the world what we're up to.”
Amazon Games already has quite a few titles in development, including the soon-to-be-released New World and MMOARPG Lost Ark – which was recently delayed.
“Amazon Games is dedicated to finding and publishing best-in-class games, whether they’re from AAA studios or passionate indie teams. Glowmade is a team of seasoned developers with the right creativity and experience to make games players will love,” said Christoph Hartmann, VP, Amazon Games. “We are excited about the opportunity to work closely with this talented studio to bring our players the very best gaming experiences.”
Glowmade was founded in 2015 by three former Lionhead Studios employees. The team is based in Guildford in southern England and has quickly added a surprising amount of talent to its roster. With plenty of experience behind it, the upcoming game for Amazon is certainly one to keep your eyes on.
