Hocking has been at Amazon since February, having previously worked on Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Far Cry 2 at Ubisoft. He later joined LucasArts and Valve leaving the latter in December 2013.

Amazon appears to be making a considerable investment in its Amazon Game Studios development team, which has already cranked out Fire TV exclusive Sev Zero. Many more titles are on the way, as you can see in the trailer below.
