Amazon launches Amazon Game Studios, releases first title called “Living Classics” on Facebook

Amazon, arguably the world’s largest online retailer, is expanding its empire into the gaming market. Today, the company has unveiled its own gaming development studio called Amazon Game Studios. And what could be a better way to prove it’s acumen than to announce its first ever game – Living Classics. “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,” Amazon said.

Living Classics is described as a “moving object game”. In the game, a family of foxes have wandered into vibrant, animated illustrations from their favorite books including Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and King Arthur. Players help to reunite the foxes by exploring beautifully illustrated scenes and spotting moving objects. You can visit friends, share rewards you’ve earned, rediscover famous stories, and reunite fox families. You can check out the game here.
