Amazon Games Will Publish Maverick Games’ AAA Narrative-Driven Open World Driving Title
Maverick Games announced itself to the world in January last year as a new independent AAA title by former Playground Games veterans who worked on the Forza Horizon franchise. It was confirmed at the time that the studio was working on an open world racer, and the developer has now taken another major step forward with the project.
Amazon Games has announced that it has signed on as the publisher for Maverick Games’ debut title, which Amazon describes as a “a narrative-led open world driving game”. The game, though currently unannounced, is confirmed to be in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
“We founded Maverick Games with a clear vision: to build a developer-first studio that would foster an environment of creativity and risk-taking,” said Maverick Games studio head and creative director Mike Brown. “This approach empowers our team to produce the most exceptional work of their careers. And ultimately, that means we are creating a game that our players are going to fall in love with. As we got to know the team at Amazon Games it quickly became clear that we had a shared ethos — a commitment to giving developers the space to really innovate in service of crafting experiences that players will find truly special.

Their vision for this game is fresh and innovative, and we’re looking forward to working alongside them to bring it to players around the world.”
