Forza Horizon-like game 'Clutch' finds new publisher Focus Entertainment

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The racing game "Clutch," a spiritual successor to Forza Horizon developed by Maverick Games, has secured a new publisher, Focus Entertainment, after a previous deal with Amazon fell through. The game, which aims to incorporate a narrative element missing from the Forza Horizon series, is set to launch in spring 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Maverick Games was founded by Mike Brown, formerly of Playground Games, and the new partnership with Focus Entertainment, known for supporting titles like Atomic Heart, is seen as a strong strategic alignment.
