Major Restructuring at Amazon Games Affects New World Developer
October 29, 2025 - 02:26
In a significant shift, Amazon Games has announced sweeping cuts across its gaming division, impacting several projects, including the popular MMORPG, New World. This restructuring comes as part of a broader strategy to refocus the company's gaming efforts and streamline operations.
The decision to move away from massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) indicates a change in direction for Amazon, which has invested heavily in the gaming sector in recent years. Despite initial enthusiasm and ambitious plans, the company has faced challenges in gaining a foothold in a highly competitive market dominated by established players.
As a result of these cuts, many employees are facing uncertainty about their roles and the future of ongoing projects. The company aims to prioritize its resources on more promising ventures, signaling a desire to adapt to the evolving landscape of the gaming industry. This pivot raises questions about the future of existing titles and the potential for new game releases from Amazon Games.
