Press release:
Hi, We wanted to let you know that Need for Speed creative lead Craig Sullivan has joined the Amazon team as Creative Director. If you’ve ever spent time tearing up the streets in Need for Speed, smashing cars to pieces in Burnout, or unleashing a hail of gunfire and destruction in the FPS BLACK, you’re familiar with Craig’s work. Craig loves bringing players innovative experiences that are big, fast, and filled with fun. During his 20 years making games, Craig and his teams have won everything from VGAs to BAFTAs, and Amazon can’t wait to see how his trademark creative flair will shape the games they are building. Craig is diving into new projects with several Amazon studios; watch this space for more in the months ahead.

In his own words:
“I couldn’t be more excited to join the super talented team at Amazon Game Studios. From my very first contact, it has been obvious that Amazon is serious about making cutting-edge, innovative experiences for players around the world. Twitch, AWS, and Lumberyard are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the tools we have as creators at Amazon, and I can’t wait to share our vision with players.”
