Amazon will open a game development studio in Bucharest where they will work on current projects, but also on those that the company plans to initiate. Amazon is also going to hire new people for the new headquarters in the Capital, gamedeveloper.com reports. The US giant emphasized its dedication to developing and publishing games, stating that its latest studio will support both current and future projects. “Amazon Games is focused on developing and publishing great games, and we have an ambitious long-term roadmap in front of us. Expanding our internal development teams into Europe was a natural next step for us as we tackle our broad portfolio. Bucharest is known as one of the top emerging European cities for game development and we look forward to tapping into the rich talent pool,” said Amazon Games VP, Christoph Hartmann. According to the preliminary information, Amazon has approached former Ubisoft Bucharest managing director Cristian Pana to lead its new Romanian studio. Pana previously worked on franchises including The Division, The Crew, Far Cry, and Avatar. “I’m thrilled to join Amazon Games at a time when the team is actively building across an exciting roadmap,” said Pana. “I’ve built and led outstanding teams in the past and I know this area of Europe is a hot spot for some of the very best talent in gaming.” Amazon Games’ portfolio currently includes two live service titles in the form of New World and Lost Ark. The company is also working on the next iteration of Tomb Raider alongside Crystal Dynamics and has an MMO project based on The Lord of the Rings in the pipeline.
