Amazon Cancels ‘Breakaway’

Amazon’s in-house game studio has decided to pull the plug on their development of their competitive fantasy sport brawler ‘Breakaway’, which was initially announced in 2016, by saying that the game is “no longer in active development.”

Amazon made the announcement on Reddit with the following:

Since our last announcement, we have worked to implement community feedback and iterate on Breakaway’s core gameplay. While we have developed many ideas and made a lot of progress, we are also setting a very high bar for ourselves. In spite of our efforts, we didn’t achieve the breakthrough that made the game what we all hoped it could be. After a lot of soul searching, the team decided to focus on new ideas. As a result, Breakaway is no longer in active development.

We remain exceptionally proud of the team’s work, and feel privileged to have been a part of such a dedicated and enthusiastic community. We will reach out to this channel as soon as we have news to share regarding our new projects, and if a thunderbolt of inspiration strikes that leads us back to Breakaway, you’ll be the first to know.
