"As part of our strategic evolution to focus on projects that leverage Amazon's unique strengths and scale, including the recent re-launch of Luna and our Tomb Raider franchise partnership with Crystal Dynamics, we have decided to release Maverick Games from their publishing agreement with Amazon Game Studios."
"We have tremendous respect for the Maverick Games team and the compelling narrative-led driving experience they're creating. This decision allows Maverick Games the flexibility to find a publishing partner whose strategic priorities are better aligned with bringing their game to market."
Maverick Games, a UK-based studio established in 2022 by Mike Brown and other former Playground Games veterans, is actively seeking new publishing partners for its debut open-world racing game. The game was previously under development with Amazon Game Studios as publisher, but Amazon has terminated the publishing agreement to focus on projects leveraging its unique strengths, including Luna and the Tomb Raider franchise partnership. Amazon stated the decision allows Maverick Games flexibility to find a publisher with better-aligned strategic priorities. The studio's creative director expressed ambitions to create a premium AAA game intended to win major awards.
