Amazon Game Studios was revealed today as the online retailer’s first internal development studio. The first game from the developer will be the social free-to-play title Living Classics, which will be a hidden object game based around classic tales like King Arthur, the Wizard of Oz, and Alice in Wonderland.
“Amazon Game Studios is exactly what it sounds like: a new team at Amazon that’s focused on creating innovative, fun and well-crafted games. Our first title, Living Classics, is debuting on Facebook today,” says the mission statement for Amazon Game Studios. “Why is Amazon making social games, you ask? Good question! We know that many Amazon customers enjoy playing games – including free-to-play social games – and thanks to Amazon’s know-how, we believe we can deliver a great, accessible gaming experience that gamers and our customers can play any time.”
