An additional player heightens the drama by triggering events, live-streaming the battles, and interacting with viewers.

“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.”
