Amazon Abandons One of its Biggest Video Game Projects
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently pulled the plug on Crucible, a high-budget video game it had been developing for six years, stating it didn't see a "healthy, sustainable future ahead" for the third-person shooter.
Amazon Game Studios initially launched Crucible in May, but pulled it back into a closed beta in June after receiving negative reviews. Many critics claimed Crucible borrowed elements of popular multiplayer games like Fortnite, Overwatch, and League of Legends, but failed to blend them into an appealing new experience.
Back in 2016, Amazon Game Studios announced the development of three high-budget games: Breakaway, Crucible, and New World. Amazon canceled the team-based brawler Breakaway in 2018, so the cancellation of Crucible leaves its MMORPG New World as its last major video game standing.
