An award-winning group of video game developers and technology pioneers, led by

Leslie Benzies, have announced development of an all-new video game using

Amazon’s Lumberyard, the AAA game engine deeply integrated with Amazon Web

Services (AWS), including Amazon GameLift and Twitch.

Benzies, the former Rockstar North, Inc. President whose production and design

credits span the life of modern gaming and include Grand Theft Auto III, IV, V,

Red Dead Redemption,

​

and GTA Online, hopes to build on his achievements of

record-breaking, genre-defining experiences, while pioneering new exciting

advancements in technology.

“I am proud to have been part of past advancements in gaming,” says Benzies,

“but I am even more excited about what we have in store for the future.

The working title of this new game is “EVERYWHERE” and the vision is long term,

with the capacity to develop and grow forever. Our goal is to create a platform

where players can be entertained, and also entertain others while blurring the

lines between reality, and a simulated world.”

Amazon Lumberyard, with its deep cloud integration, powerful development tools

and stunning graphics, is enabling Benzies’ team to create thrilling new

gameplay possibilities, with a focus on building and hosting a global community

for the future.

“

​

Amazon’s technologies and cloud services provide us the power and flexibility

to create a new type of game that was never before possible for today’s massive

gaming communities.

​

” Additionally, “Lumberyard’s client and cloud features

free us up to focus on the innovative, creative elements of our game,” says

Benzies.

“Leslie is a visionary who pushes what’s possible in interactive entertainment,

and we’re honored that he and his team have chosen Amazon Lumberyard as the

foundation for ‘EVERYWHERE,’” said Eric Schenk, General Manager, Amazon

Lumberyard. “We’re obsessed with giving developers the tools they need to bring

their most ambitious projects to life, and based on feedback from creative

leaders like Leslie, we’ve made more than 1,700 updates to the engine in the

last year alone. We can’t wait to see what his team creates.”

Benzies and his group are based in Edinburgh, Scotland and Los Angeles. His

team is in the process of building new game design and development studios,
