Amazon Game Studios Launches King of Meat. Unleash Your Ridiculous!

King of Meat is a co-op party platformer, pitting up to four players against devious dungeons filled with puzzles to solve, challenges to traverse, and ridiculous monsters to fight. Players compete in official dungeons, community-built dungeons, and they can also unleash their own creativity to build unique and fun dungeons for other players.
Press reviews for King of Meat have praised the fun cooperative gameplay, the powerful yet accessible Create Mode, and the humorous world and narrative.

They are the dungeons featured in the MrBeast Gaming Channel episode, in which MrBeast challenges eight teams of some of the biggest creators on YouTube to beat King of Meat for $250,000. Players who purchase and play King of Meat before October 31 will unlock the Legendary MrBeast Bundle, and players who complete all five MrBeast Specials dungeons can claim an additional rare MrBeast costume within the same timeframe.
March of Giants, a New Free-to-Play War MOBA Began Closed Alpha Testing
In August, Amazon Game Studios announced March of Giants, a new free-to-play 4v4 war MOBA for PC and conducted closed alpha testing in September. Set in a ravaged urban battlefield filled with marvels of science and magic and grounded in the technology of the early 1900s, players take the role of towering Giants in the final battle of a century-long conflict. As a war MOBA, March of Giants deals directly with military themes, allowing players to command thousands of soldiers in battle within the strategic framework of competitive MOBA gameplay.
