There should be no doubt that Amazon is serious about the game business. The company is unveiling three new PC games today that offer a lot of support for Twitch livestreaming.

The headliner game is Breakaway, where four players can challenge four others in an esports brawler that resembles a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). You control mythological creatures and legendary warriors — including the gladiator Spartacus, the sorceress Morgan Le Fay, and the warlord Vlad the Impaler — who fight for control of a ball and try to move it into a goal amid hand-to-hand combat.
