Clutch Picks Up a Publisher as Maverick Games Partners with Focus Entertainment
Focus Entertainment has announced it has forged a “major publishing partnership” with independent racing studio Maverick Games for its upcoming project, Clutch, after Amazon backed out earlier this year.
Focus Entertainment has secured a publishing partnership with racing studio Maverick Games for their upcoming title, Clutch. This collaboration marks Focus Entertainment's first venture into the open-world racing genre. Vince Chataignier, Focus's deputy CEO, expressed excitement about working with Maverick Games, praising their creative influence on racing games.
Clutch is scheduled for a release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in early to mid-2027. The game is described as a thrilling mix of circuit racing, street racing, and action-packed heists, set in an open-world environment inspired by the French Riviera's Mediterranean coastline. With a strong emphasis on customization and gadgets, Clutch aims to offer players a wide range of car-based abilities, including a grappling hook to perform stunts during missions.
Initially, Maverick Games had planned to publish Clutch through Amazon, but the deal was canceled due to Amazon's strategic shift.
