Focus Entertainment will publish Maverick Games' cinematic open-world action driving game CLUTCH for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in spring 2027. CLUTCH pits professional R1K circuit racing against the underground Midnight Collective across a detailed open-world recreation of the French Riviera, including harbours, coastal roads, mountains, gorges, vineyards, and hilltop villages. Players live a double life as modern racing outlaws, competing in elite sanctioned events by day and undertaking cinematic getaway missions, escalating pursuits, and social sandbox events by night. The game emphasizes high-stakes race-and-chase gameplay, experimental ClutchTech vehicle mods, and car personalization tied to identity and lifestyle as well as performance. The central narrative follows siblings Theo and Cass Martial, whose ties to both racing worlds entangle them in a conspiracy that escalates rivalries and fractures loyalties. Focus and Maverick position every pursuit as a story-driven moment where escapes and rivalries drive progression and reputation across the Riviera.
