Also, they have a lot of references to consoles, but this one is the most explicit in that it asks for console experience in addition to PC experience:

This Senior Producer position will lead all production and development efforts on the PC platform for a AAA Video Game title.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Senior Production Experience with Console Game development and publishing, including not less than five years of production credits.

Bezos will devour all.

The team looks very solid, I wonder what they have in mind but, this looks promising.

 

[drotahorror]

Nvm, it said competitive.

 

[Terrell]

This Senior Producer position will lead all production and development efforts on the PC platform for a AAA Video Game title.

Doesn't look like a console game to me, but the credentials seem to contradict that, so unfortunately all we know is that Amazon is looking into becoming a game publisher on other platforms.

A Jill of the Jungle reboot?

Or a Wonder Woman action game?

(Sorry...)

Bezos will devour all.

The amazon ecosystem is honestly not a bad one to be in.Because of so many of their integrated services, they're more convenient for me to use than google.

Nvm, it said competitive.

Awwwww

Telltale style adventure game. Probably using one of their prime exclusive series, American Gods or some such.

It says fast paced and competitive.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Amazon abandoning their console platform plans and becoming a AAA games publisher on consoles and PC would be wonderful.

They can build up their portfolio of first party studios and IP and then put out a console later, if they're feeling frisky (or buy Xbox, lol).

Dragon's Crown 2

 

[onemanasylum]

That would be great, more the merrier.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Need for Speed, Burnout Paradise, Forza, Mechwarrior Online, Call of Duty, Half Life 2, and Halo

Is it finally time? A true Fast and the Furious game for the modern age?

 

[JPS Kai]

Why yes, I think the world IS ready for a new Timesplitters.

It's most likely either Wizards of the Coast (Magic, D&D), Marvel, or Fox given who is actually licensing IP at the moment that anyone would want to work with.
