Online retailer, tablet-maker, and media streamer Amazon has extended its reach further with the purchase of Double Helix Games, best known of late for developing the reboot of Killer Instinct for the Xbox One launch. TechCrunch was the first to report the acquisition, and Amazon soon confirmed it, saying in a statement that the move was “part of our ongoing commitment to build innovative games for customers.”

The Irvine, California-based Double Helix was formed in 2007 from members of The Collective and Shiny Entertainment, and since then it has primarily worked on contract games based on other companies’ IP, including Silent Hill: Homecoming, MX vs. ATV Reflex, and the game version of the Battleship movie. The developer is currently working on a reboot of the 16-bit platforming classic Strider for PC and consoles. All 75 Double Helix employees will remain in Irvine, according to the TechCrunch report.

Amazon’s latest acquisition renews the rumors, first reported last summer, that the company is planning to release an Android-based game console to build off of its robust Android App Store. The latest unsourced rumors on that score suggest that console will be powered by a Qualcomm processor and released some time this year for under $300. Amazon has also reportedly been courting Android game developers to add controller support to their games for months now.
