In a surprising move, Amazon has stepped back from its publishing agreement with Maverick Games, a UK-based studio founded by veterans of Playground Games, the studio behind the acclaimed Forza Horizon series. This decision comes as Maverick has been diligently crafting a story-driven open-world racing game for the past few years. With the split now official, Maverick is on the hunt for a new publishing partner but remains optimistic, stating they are in active discussions with potential collaborators.
Founded just a year ago, Maverick has quickly positioned itself as a notable player in the industry, especially with the experience of key figures like Mike Brown, the creative director behind Forza Horizon 5. It’s clear that the legacy of such successful projects has left fans eager for what Maverick will bring to the table.
While this turn of events raises questions about the game’s future, it also highlights the fluid nature of relationships within the gaming industry. Maverick’s experienced team is well-equipped to navigate these changes, and with interest from other publishers, it seems they are not too discouraged. The gaming world will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how Maverick’s journey unfolds and what fresh experiences they will deliver in an ever-evolving market.
