Amazon is all in on games.

2016 is already a year of firsts for Double Helix Games, and for gaming at Amazon. In February, Amazon released Lumberyard, a free, cloud connected game engine. In April, Double Helix moved to our new state-of-the-art game studio and streaming facility. Later this year, we will reveal the first of our new projects to the world.
