It tells the story of sibling racing prodigies competing in the R1K, a historic series that\u2019s been the proving ground for the world\u2019s top drivers for 100 years. Away from the pomp and pageantry of the R1K is the underground Midnight Collective made up of those who love showing off their style and the raw thrill of speed. When the hero finds himself in trouble and in need of a fixer, the underbelly of the R1K is smashed wide open.<\/p><p>\nA first look at the story, actors, world and what\u2019s at stake will be revealed at the Summer Game Fest Showcase on Friday, June 5.<\/p><p>\n\u201cMaverick has assembled a dream team of car lovers and driving fans with decades of experience building genre-defining open-world racing games,\u201d said Mike Brown, Creative Director and Founder of Maverick Games. \u201cOur mission from day-one is for <i>Clutch<\/i> to push the genre into a new era, innovate through new types of open-world sandbox gameplay and deliver a generational leap on the staples of why we love driving games.\u201d<\/p><p>\nIn <i>Clutch<\/i>, players will compete for position, reputation and rewards while navigating shifting alliances, escalating pursuits and rival crews across a living PvPvE action-driving world. Players will progress through a diverse array of hand-crafted and spontaneous missions and races that break the mold of modern driving games and challenge player creativity at every turn. <i>Clutch\u2019s<\/i> open-world sandbox unleashes blockbuster action and unscripted chaos in every high-speed getaway.<\/p><p>\n<i>Clutch\u2019s<\/i> proprietary physics engine and deep vehicle personalization system allow players to build cars defined as much by identity and style as raw performance. Customization goes deeper than the custom paint or aftermarket parts, it\u2019s in the tiny details of owning a car that build on the connection between car and driver. Players can create a true one-of-one car and the ride of their dreams in <i>Clutch,<\/i> being rewarded equally for both creative flair and finishing position.<\/p><p>\nWatch \u201cWelcome to <i>Clutch - <\/i>Official Reveal\u201d at <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmnTawB_pN6Q&amp;esheet=54545980&amp;newsitemid=20260602936550&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=ThisIsMaverickGames&amp;index=1&amp;md5=1d2fc595bc8647cb172556ffc02b634a\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">ThisIsMaverickGames<\/a><\/p><p>\nFor more information on Maverick Games, and to learn more about <i>Clutch<\/i> follow Maverick Games\u2019 social channels at: <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2FMaverickGames&amp;esheet=54545980&amp;newsitemid=20260602936550&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2FMaverickGames&amp;index=2&amp;md5=e2c3a24d3edfec90cb4877e4385ea90b\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">https:\/\/linktr.ee\/MaverickGames<\/a><\/p><p>\nAssets for <i>Clutch <\/i>can be found <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com%2Fscl%2Ffo%2Fohwq57b27fcdjh82tc2kj%2FAKDqwLJE2mEuaV7KKvbmSvA%3Frlkey%3Dblchnw1gtr3j3r0a2pwoyf6um%26st%3Ddcs5yfcf%26dl%3D0&amp;esheet=54545980&amp;newsitemid=20260602936550&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here.&amp;index=3&amp;md5=276f079eed05b10028f93db9b0422446\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">here.<\/a><\/p><p>\n<b>About Maverick Games<\/b><\/p><p>\nMaverick Games is a new game development studio based in Leamington Spa, UK.
