Breakaway
Amazon has gradually risen over the years to become a worldwide power, and in 2014 they formed a video game studio to help grow their worldwide popularity. As of the time of writing, Amazon Game Studios have announced three major projects for PC in the pipeline, but they have clearly been having dreadful plumbing issues, as none of them have any launch date in sight.
The most significant of the trio, Breakaway, was to be a team-based, multiplayer brawler, taking cues from League of Legends, Power Stone and Rocket League, with two teams attempting to move a ball into their opponents’ goal. Though many were skeptical of the idea on paper, an early access alpha version garnered reactions of pleasant surprise, as it showed particular potential.
Despite this, and even with its Twitch accessibility and team-based scheme fitting the tentative 2019 release window perfectly, Breakaway was cancelled indefinitely, with the window for a rebirth left slightly ajar. Just don’t let the cold breeze of apathy get you down.
