flag Amazon is cutting 14,000 jobs, halting major game projects, and shifting to AI-driven casual games for Luna.

flag Amazon Games is cutting hundreds of jobs and halting most first-party AAA and MMO development, including major titles like New World: Aeternum and a Lord of the Rings MMO, as part of a broader company-wide restructuring that eliminates around 14,000 corporate roles. flag The cuts, effective October 28, 2025, primarily affect studios in Irvine and San Diego and the central publishing team. flag Amazon is shifting focus to casual, AI-driven games for its Luna cloud service, prioritizing faster-to-market titles and Prime member value. flag While some projects like the next Tomb Raider game and a racing title continue, the company is scaling back on high-risk, high-cost in-house development. flag The move reflects a strategic pivot toward cloud-first gaming and aligns with Amazon’s broader push to streamline operations and leverage AI innovation.
