""The team is made of former Portal, World of Warcraft and BioShock creators, and we're building a team of top talent for an ambitious new PC game project using the latest technology. Our team in Seattle has worked on a lot of other great titles like Half Life 2, Left for Dead, Dota 2, Halo, Infamous, Shadows of Mordor and The Last of Us. If you want to be on the tip of the spear for game design and technology, contact us. We want people that are driven to make the best games in the industry. We are looking to take interesting risks, and invent!" reads the listing.

This would be the company's first PC game.

According to experts, the fact that Amazon would dabble into PC games was not exactly a top secret. Considering the profiles of its recent hires like game designers Kim Swift (Portal, Quantum Conundrum);Clint Hocking (Far Cry, Splinter Cell) and Double Helix (Killer Instinct and Silent Hill Homecoming), the company had prepared the foundation for a game shift.
