Amazon Game Studios has shut down Project Trident and laid off the entire team in San Diego. The game started as a team adventure like Shadow of the Colossus, with giant monster fights, grappling hooks, and flying mounts. In mid-2024 Amazon told all teams to add AI tools as much as possible, so the team quickly changed it into a funny Nordic action game where players could speak or type commands to AI characters The main art, music, story, and gameplay were all made by people, while AI was only used for talking to the characters. The team made many fast changes and built a good test version, but in October 2025 Amazon still laid off the full team during big company cuts and canceled the project because the company is now making fewer large games.
