AMAZON REPORTEDLY PUSHED A GAME TEAM TO REBUILD A PROJECT AROUND AI, THEN LAID THEM OFF Eurogamer reports $AMZN's Project Trident started as a co-op action game where players scaled giant Jotuns using grappling hooks and flying mounts. Sources said the original version had strong internal excitement. Then, in mid-2024, the team was reportedly hit with an “AI mandate.” The project pivoted into a Helldivers-style roguelite built around AI NPCs that could respond to voice and text commands. It later shifted again into a single-player game where LLMs could trigger special abilities or persuade NPCs. A demo was reportedly planned for the first half of 2026. Then Amazon’s October 2025 layoffs hit. The Project Trident team was cut and the game was scrapped. Amazon Games says AI was not the reason for the layoffs, calling it part of a broader strategic shift.

MAJOR ORDER: The Ministry of Science has identified anomalous phenomena in the vicinity of ancient Illuminate structures. These ruins date to well before the First Galactic War, and have been preserved for citizen education and enrichment. The anomalous phenomena include spacetime disruptions similar to those recorded near the Meridian Singularity. Ground-Penetrating Radar scans indicate that these ruins may extend several meters into the ground. Access to the sites is now restricted, as Ministry of Science archaeology teams begin careful excavations. However, there are similar structures on planets that the Illuminate now control. The enemy may intend to somehow use these ruins to perpetuate disinformation campaigns, or to create and propagate their own twisted version of history. Further, the seizure of these sites will allow further excavation, hastening our investigation. ALAIRT III, HERTHON SECUNDUS, and ZEA RUGOSIA, each contain multiple archaeological sites. The Helldivers are ordered to liberate these planets from the Illuminate.
