It sounds like the Forza Horizon series is going to be getting some new competition, and it’s coming from a team of former Forza Horizon developers. Maverick Games, a new studio formed in 2022, has signed a publishing agreement with Amazon Games to create a new “narrative led open-world driving game,” and unlike the Forza Horizon games, this one will also be available on PS5.
Maverick Games studio head and creative director Mike Brown previously served as creative director on Forza Horizon 5. It sounds like the developers will be building on that strong open-world-racing foundation for its new project, but with an increased emphasis on characters and story. Those are present in the Horizon games, but not necessarily a huge focus.
