Amazon wants to arrive in the game industry proper with a bang. Founded as a developer seven years ago, so far Jeff Bezos’ experimental games arm has largely produced small titles – a forgettable (and bizarre) racing game based on The Grand Tour licence, and a series of Amazon Appstore exclusives. When it’s not been cancelling them, of course.
But our trip to the San Diego studio reveals a project that’s clearly been a while in the making, an expansive massively multiplayer online game set on an uncharted island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. This island, sustained by a supernatural mineral called Azoth that enriches the veins of the land, promises many things to would-be explorers: adventure, immortality, power. Those corrupted by the mineral, wandering souls cursed by the island, are keen to keep interlopers away – as is nature itself.
An intriguing setup for an MMO, then. But New World is fundamentally different from the giants of the genre – the World Of Warcrafts, the Final Fantasy XIVs, the Guild Wars. Amazon is here to make a statement, to prove to the industry that it can play with the big boys. And it wants to make some big changes to how the world sees massively multiplayer games in the process.

Children Of The Sun
René Rother’s acrid revenge thriller – an action game with its limbs broken and forcibly rearranged into the shape of a spatial puzzler – is at once a bonafide original and an unlikely throwback. Cast your eyes right and you wouldn’t blink if we told you this was a forgotten Grasshopper Manufacture game from the early PS3 era (we won’t be at all surprised if this finds a spot on Suda51’s end-of-year list).

Dragon's Dogma 2
The road from Vernworth to Bakbattahl is scenic but arduous. Ignore the dawdling mobs of goblins, and duck beneath the chanting harpies that circle on the currents overhead, and even moving at a hurried clip it is impossible for a party of four to complete the journey by nightfall.
