Amazon Developing AAA Racing Game With Former Forza Horizon Devs at the Helm

About four months ago, Amazon Games announced a new partnership with Maverick Games to create a narrative-driven racing game set in an open world. The game’s title is still unknown, but there are signs that updates might be coming soon.

According to a job listing, Amazon is looking for a community manager to lead the strategy for their upcoming AAA racing game developed by Maverick Games. The listing states, “Amazon games is looking for a Community Manager to lead the community strategy and tactics for our forthcoming AAA racing game, developed by Maverick Games.” This role is usually filled when a game is ready to be introduced to the public, hinting that Amazon may soon reveal more about the game.

Both Amazon Games and Maverick Games are counting on this game. Amazon has seen some success with games like Lost Ark and New World, but it has also faced setbacks, such as the cancellation of the western release of Blue Protocol. For Maverick Games, this is an opportunity to prove itself, as the studio was founded by developers from Forza Horizon, including Mike Brown, which was the Creative Director of Forza Horizon 5.

While details on the game are scarce, Maverick Games has confirmed it will be a narrative-led, open-world driving game

The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, but the release date is yet to be confirmed. As we get more information, we’ll make sure to keep you informed here at MP1st.
