After years of development, Amazon will launch free-to-play team shooter Crucible on the PC on May 20.
In Crucible, players choose from a roster of aliens, robots, and humans, and work with teammates to hunt opponents, take down hostile creatures, and capture objectives. The science-fiction game takes place on a rogue planet at the edge of known space. They’re all pursuing Essence, a resource that amplifies hunters’ powers. Players begin each match by selecting from a lineup of 10 hunters, each with distinct loadouts of weapons and abilities.
It’s an important game that will provide competition with Overwatch and Riot’s new Valorant game, which is in beta testing. And it will help determine whether Amazon, which is at its heart an e-commerce and data services company, can be taken seriously in games.
This game comes from Relentless Studios, a Seattle-based development team of Amazon Games.
