Amazon's video game efforts so far have not been entirely successful, with the company's latest title, Crucible, failing to find an audience and recently returning to closed beta status. Now, Amazon Games is making another big move in gaming by partnering with the Korean developer Smilegate for a new game to be released in 2021.

　　Smilegate developed the massively popular Crossfire game, which has a breathtaking 670 million registered users and reached a concurrent player record of 8 million people. Building off the success of the game in Korea, Smilegate partnered with Microsoft to bring a console version of the game, CrossfireX, to Xbox One.
