Several gaming veterans introduced immediately the new studio they’re founding: Maverick Games. The studio is at the moment staffed by a number of former members of Playground Games, the studio behind the Forza Horizon titles. The studio is already engaged on its first recreation, an unnamed open-world title set to launch on consoles and PC.

Maverick’s headquarters is in Leamington Spa within the U.Ok (additionally the placement of Playground Games). It’s reportedly secured seed funding as it really works on its new recreation, and is actively hiring for new roles.

The studio’s founding members together with Mike Brown, previously of Playground Games, as studio head; Harinder Sangha, of Sumo Digital Leamington as COO; and Matt Craven of Playground as CTO. The present studio employees embrace members of Playground, Sharkmob London and EA.

Brown stated in an announcement, “Our goal is for Maverick Games to be a studio people will love. For players, we’re already at work on an exciting ultra-high quality title, and for developers, we’re building a home where everyone is encouraged to take risks, be curious, be creative, be innovative, be themselves, and above all – be a Maverick.”
