So Monaco, known for being quite dense and tight, we\u2019ve allowed our level designers to add a little bit of space here and there \u2013 but every main road, every main landmark is present and correct. But the actual footprint of the space is larger than real-life Monaco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then that\u2019s surrounded by a sprawling French Riviera that goes up as high as the Alps and out to the Verdon Gorge, and then as far to the west as Saint-Tropez. We have three city hubs along the coast; you\u2019ve got Monaco, and then Cannes, and then Saint-Tropez. So a huge world to explore and one that, we think, everywhere you go there\u2019s real beautiful things to explore and see.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"maverick-games-untitled-driving-game-first-screenshots\" data-value=\"maverick-games-untitled-driving-game-first-screenshots\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>The studio has also debuted a story trailer for Clutch, and detailed how its characters find themselves straddling a trio of different worlds, including professional circuit racing, a nighttime underground street racing scene, and intense, high-speed pursuits and getaways. With a script by Scottish TV writer Jamie Brittain (the co-creator of acclaimed British teen drama Skins), Clutch is the story of Theo Martial and his younger sister, Cass. With the guidance of his adoptive father Ludo, Theo is a star driver in the revered Riviera 1000 racing tournament \u2013 the R1K. For the purposes of Clutch, the R1K is the most prestigious event in all motorsport, and Ludo is a former champion of the tournament. <\/p>\n<p>After the R1K is rocked by a tragic accident on track, however, its current custodian George McBride plans to introduce new technology to prevent any further incidents. This controversial plan splits the drivers, and eventually leads Theo to the Midnight Collective \u2013 the underground street racing community based in the area \u2013 and into an adjacent spot of trouble that leaves him owing favours to the wrong sort of people. It\u2019s at this point, however, that Theo discovers a conspiracy at the heart of the R1K.<\/p>\n<p>During Clutch we\u2019ll race as both Theo, played by Tosin Cole (Supacell, Doctor Who), and Cass, played by Little Simz (Top Boy, Venom: Let There Be Carnage).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepending on how much of a fan of UK hip hop you are will determine how excited you are about that inclusion,\u201d jokes Brown. \u201cBut Little Simz is basically the biggest name in UK hip hop at the moment \u2013 probably the biggest female rapper in the world \u2013 and she\u2019s also a great actor. If you\u2019ve seen Top Boy, she plays the love interest of the main character, she was in the second Venom movie, she had a movie on Netflix last year called Steve where she starred alongside Cillian Murphy, and she also played Glastonbury main stage, as well. She was also at Coachella as well, a few weeks ago, so she\u2019s a very, very big talent in both screen and on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>French actor Gr\u00e9gory Montel stars as the pair\u2019s father Ludo, and Peter Serafinowicz (who you may recall from Shaun of the Dead, or as The Sommelier in John Wick: Chapter 2) features as R1K boss George McBride. Clutch will also feature Jane Perry, who is the BAFTA award-winning voice of the lead character in 2021\u2019s Returnal, as well as Agent 47\u2019s handler Diana Burnwood in the most recent Hitman trilogy. She was also the voice of the in-car navigation in the first two Forza Horizon games, which is humorous considering how adjacent Clutch\u2019s world finds itself to Forza Horizon 2 (which was also set on a segment of the French Riviera, centred around Nice.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"clutch-official-behind-the-scenes-reveal\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>It\u2019s an entertaining coincidence that Clutch and Forza Horizon 2 find themselves such close neighbours, considering developer Maverick Games itself is within walking distance of Forza Horizon developer Playground Games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this specific area, it all does kinda flower originally out of Codemasters,\u201d explains Brown, formerly of Playground Games, where he worked on a number of Forza Horizon games and was the creative director of Forza Horizon 5. \u201cThere is\/was a massive developer [and] publisher just outside Leamington Spa that employed loads and loads of people, and built many, many very good racing games, and then that just builds a level of talent that then can flower out and start new studios, and it\u2019s kinda grown out of that. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unusual and it\u2019s unique. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything really else like it anywhere in the world, or in the games industry, where you can point to one thing \u2013 in this case, Codemasters \u2013 that then just leads to this growth and growth in what is actually quite a specialised thing, in racing games. It\u2019s not just in video games, it is actually racing. Because there\u2019s even Sumo Leamington, which is slightly different, but still in racing. Even these other studios that you might not immediately think of are still in Leamington doing racing, or racing adjacent work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnywhere else in the world, if you tell people you\u2019re a game designer, they\u2019re like, \u2018Bloody hell, that\u2019s interesting! What\u2019s that like?\u2019 In this town, if you say you work in the games industry, it\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, obviously.\u2019 It\u2019s as normal as saying you\u2019re a geography teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maverick Games revealed Clutch for the first time earlier this week. Described as a \u201ccinematic open-world action-driving game,\u201d Clutch will launch in Spring 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/summer-game-fest-2026-everything-announced\">everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2026<\/a> if you need a catch up on what else the video game industry has in store.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Luke is a Senior Editor on the IGN reviews team.
