Focus Entertainment and Maverick Games, have announced CLUTCH, a new open-world racing game. CLUTCH is the debut game by Maverick Games, a studio set up by Mike Brown, former Forza Horizon Creative Director.
CLUTCH puts players inside the double life of a new generation of racing outsiders – competing at the highest level of professional motorsport by day and entering a dangerous underground world of racing, reputation and pursuit by night.
With an original story from Jamie Brittain, co-creator of Skins, CLUTCH brings a new level of character-driven, cinematic storytelling to the open-world driving experience, alongside deep vehicle customisation that gives players the freedom to express their style and shape their progression.
Vincent Chataignier, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Focus Entertainment Publishing, said:
“At Focus, we look to partner with creators who are redefining their genre. Mike Brown and his team are regarded as ones of the defining creative voices in the racing genre, and CLUTCH embodies exactly the creative ambition Focus Entertainment wants to champion.”
Mike Brown, Founder & CEO of Maverick Games, said
“We founded Maverick Games to build the open-world racing experience we’d dreamed about for years. Focus shares our creative bar and our ambition for CLUTCH, and we can’t wait for players everywhere to discover this world.”
CLUTCH is scheduled for release in Spring 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
