Players assemble a team from an expanding roster of legendary warriors, including the relentless gladiator Spartacus, the twisted sorceress Morgan Le Fay, and the bloodthirsty warlord Vlad the Impaler. At the start of each round, warriors can summon persistent buildables onto the playing field that dynamically alter the game. Buildables can besiege foes, shield teammates, or create new pathways through the arena. Players fight for dominance across fabled locations such as El Dorado, Atlantis, and Styx. They battle to control the Relic--the center of Breakaway’s action--passing it to teammates, defending it from attackers, and smashing it into an opponent’s base to score.

1. Conjured from the deepest pit, the Black Knight is an unstoppable mountain of tormented, angry steel. With armor forged in hellfire and a mighty battle-axe said to feast upon the souls of his enemies, the Black Knight’s only purpose is destruction.
2. There are none more wicked than the vile sorceress, Morgan Le Fay. With a heart as black as a raven’s wings, she wields her twisted gifts to overwhelm any who oppose her quest for power.
3. Spartacus revels in the glory of battle and the roar of the crowd. A champion of the people, he fights for pride and freedom, delivering victory at the edge of his legendary swords.
4. With the horns of a mythic battle ram and the weight of a massive warhammer, Thorgrim welcomes the challenge of each new battle on his journey to Valhalla.
5. Anne Bonny’s thirst for fortune and fame is matched only by her joy in crushing her rivals. Few warriors can match her daring and none are more skilled with pistols and powder.
6. Quick on the draw and smooth on the trigger, Rawlins seeks more than victory. He aims for justice; delivered with righteous fire from his devastating twin cannons - Law and Order.
7. Alona, the last Sun Priestess, wields the power of the sun for strength and healing. Her mighty Sun Staff channels solar rays, harnessing their purifying light to protect those in need.
8. Many more Warriors seek the Relic. Who will enter the Realm next?

“Watching and interacting with broadcasters and the communities on Twitch has inspired us to think about games in a new way—to ask ourselves ‘what would it look like to create a game with broadcasting and viewing in mind from the very start?’ It’s clear the experiences that fans have outside the game, from viewing and broadcasting to live events and esports, are huge sources of entertainment,” said Mike Frazzini, Vice President of Amazon Games. “We’ve hired some of the best creators in the world to build games that we hope will be as fun to watch as they are to play. We’re excited to reveal a first look at our titles, and invite fans and broadcasters to share what they think and join us in shaping the development of our games.”

Rain fire on opponents with Spartacus’ Catapult. Fortify your allies with the healing aura of Alona’s Sun Shrine. Shatter the earth with Thorgrim’s Demolition Hammer. Trap the enemy with Rawlins’ Jail. Each warrior summons unique Buildables that can alter the pace of combat, or reshape the arena.

Breakaway is powered by Amazon Lumberyard and integrates directly with Twitch. Breakaway introduces four new ways for the Twitch community to interact with broadcasters. Metastream allows streamers to customize their broadcasts with real-time stat overlays. Broadcaster Match Builder lets broadcasters invite their followers to join their matches. Broadcaster Spotlight adds to the excitement of streaming. It tells players when they’re in a match that’s being broadcast, and lets them follow the broadcaster with a single click. Stream+ gives broadcasters new ways to interact with their viewers through polls, and by allowing viewers to wager loyalty points that are redeemable for in-game rewards.

Interested fans can now sign up for the Breakaway Alpha test.
