Amazon Luna cloud gaming will get a refresh with a new social game system - and an AI powered game

Amazon have announced a bit of a refresh is coming to their cloud gaming service Amazon Luna, with new games and new ways to play.

From the announcement they said at some point later this year (they didn't specify) you'll see a "completely redesigned and reimagined Amazon Luna that combines innovative social party games with amazing blockbusters to make every night in your house the perfect game night to share with your family and friends".

The new additions will be included in Amazon Prime subscriptions at no additional cost. This includes "GameNight", a new social play system that doesn't need a controller, you can use a smartphone with games designed around the living room TV with people able to join by a QR code. It all sounds a bit similar to what Jackbox Games do with their party packs.

GameNight will arrive with a collection of social party games that will be added to the service including more than 25 multiplayer games that include "GameNight-optimized takes on favorites like Angry Birds, Draw & Guess, Exploding Kittens and Flappy Golf Party, to party‑ready adaptations of board game hits such as Taboo, Ticket to Ride and Clue".

However, they're also jumping in with more AI generation. One of these games is called Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg which they say is "human‑built" that's an "AI‑powered improv courtroom game where players invent outrageous characters, spin wild stories, and do whatever it takes to defend their testimonies before Judge Snoop Dogg".
