The newly formed studio Maverick Games, founded by veterans of the Forza Horizon series, has released the first full trailer for its debut project, Clutch. The game was officially announced earlier this week, and the trailer offers a deeper look at its high-octane world.

Clutch is described as an open-world driving experience that focuses on narrative and character. The trailer showcases a vibrant, stylized setting filled with winding roads, off-road trails, and urban environments. Players will take on the role of a driver navigating a world of underground racing, where reputation and skill are everything. The footage emphasizes dynamic weather, day-night cycles, and a heavy focus on car customization.

Maverick Games was founded by Mike Brown, the former creative director on Forza Horizon. The studio has attracted several other key developers from Playground Games, and Clutch is their first major project. While the trailer does not reveal a specific release date, it confirms the game is in development for PC and consoles. The team has stated that Clutch aims to blend the thrill of arcade racing with a compelling story, setting it apart from other titles in the genre.
