The studio is currently staffed by several former members of Playground Games, the dev behind the Forza Horizon titles. The studio is already working on its first game, an unnamed open-world title set to launch on consoles and PC.

Maverick’s headquarters is in Leamington Spa in the U.K (also the location of Playground Games). It’s reportedly secured seed funding as it works on its new game and is actively hiring for new roles.
