Maverick Games Revvs Up with ‘Clutch’ – A New Racing Adventure Awaits!

Looks like Maverick Games isn’t throwing in the towel just yet! After Amazon pulled the plug on their publishing deal for an upcoming racing game earlier this year, many thought it was game over for the studio. But they’re here to prove everyone wrong with the announcement of their first project, titled ‘Clutch’. Mark your calendars for June 5, as a full trailer is set to be revealed during the Summer Game Fest showcase!

Mike Brown, who co-founded Maverick Games and previously served as the creative director at Playground Games (the minds behind Forza Horizon), shared a sneak peek of what players can expect. In his words, ‘Clutch’ is all about the pure passion for driving, the intimate bond between the driver and their car, and the exhilarating rush of speed.

The game follows the journey of two sibling racing prodigies competing in the legendary R1K racing series, a prestigious event that has been the proving ground for top drivers for a century. However, outside the glitz and glamour of the R1K lies the Midnight Collective, a group of passionate car enthusiasts who thrive on the thrill of driving rather than fame or fortune.

As the story unfolds, players will encounter challenges that lead our protagonist to seek help from a fixer, revealing the gritty underbelly of the racing world. It sounds like there will be plenty of twists and turns as we dive deeper into the narrative!

While Mike teased a few exciting features of ‘Clutch’, including an expansive open world and customizable vehicles with “Clutch Tech mods,” more juicy details about the game’s setting and characters will be held back until the official reveal. So gear up and get ready for some adrenaline-pumping action in what promises to be a thrilling new addition to the racing genre!
