Amazon Game Studios has withdrawn from its publishing role on a yet-to-be-revealed open-world racing game being developed by Maverick Games, according to a report from The Game Business.

Maverick Games, a studio formed by developers who previously worked on the Forza Horizon series, continues to work on the project despite Amazon's departure from the publishing arrangement. The title has not been formally announced and no release window or platform details have been disclosed.

The Game Business report states that Amazon will no longer be involved in publishing the game. The report did not provide further detail on reasons for the split or on any new publishing plans for Maverick Games.

The situation leaves the project in development limbo regarding its future publishing route, though sources indicate the game itself remains in production. No official statements were included in the report from either Amazon Game Studios or Maverick Games.

The move adds to a pattern of shifting partnerships within the industry as studios and publishers reassess strategies for major, open-world projects.
