Six years after joining Amazon Games in 2018, the studio's vice president, Christoph Hartmann, has laid out a long-term goal for the company to become the best it possibly can. Hard at work with the upcoming Lord of the Rings MMO and Crystal Dynamics' next Tomb Raider game, Hartmann states these titles aren't "too far away" but that they are playing the "long game" and want to focus their efforts on game quality rather than coming in with a half-baked approach.
