No first-party games have been announced just yet. And it will probably take a while before Google rolls out any titles developed internally: the search giant has only opened its first games studo this October. It is based in Montréal, Canada.
“For a big bet and a huge new IP that’s going to fully leverage the cloud, it may be several years. But we do have quite a few exclusive games in the works that will demonstrate some of the exciting things about the platform all along the path. It won’t be four years before gamers get to see the new exclusive, exciting content. There will be some coming out every year, and more and more each year.”

In the nearest future, Google will probably rely on indie developers for exclusive content.
