Former president of Rockstar North, Leslie Benzies, has announced a new video game, Everywhere, using Amazon's free game engine, Lumberyard.
Everywhere is the game's temporary title, and there are no further details currently known about the project, including its genre, gameplay, and what platforms it might appear on. However, Benzies did reveal that his studio has a long-term vision for the title, with the goal "to create a platform where players can be entertained, and also entertain others while blurring the lines between reality, and a simulated world."
Benzies also confirmed that his team will use Lumberyard's client and cloud features "to create a new type of game that was never before possible for today’s massive gaming communities.”
Amazon first released its free game engine last year. Lumberyard is based on the CryEngine, which Amazon licensed from developer Crytek in 2015 for a reported $50-$70 million.
Benzies, who has producing credits on Grand Theft Auto III, IV, V, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA Online, left Rockstar in 2016 after previously having taken a sabbatical from the company in 2014.
Benzies eventually sued Take-Two Interactive for $150 million, with a partner at the law firm representing Benzies claiming he was forced out of the company. He later formed five new companies earlier this year, one of which is called Every Game Limited.
