Maverick Games pulls back the curtain after 3.5 years of development.Last week, we talked about how Forza Horizon 6 might have some competition on its hands in the form of a new racing title from Maverick Games, and the studio has just unveiled it — it's called "Clutch", and it's coming out in 2027.Clutch is a AAA open-world cinematic driving game that will feature a story campaign that's seemingly split into formal racing and street racing, along with elements like chase scenes as well. The idea is that the R1K race series is the "proving ground" for racers in this story, but not everyone's into it - there are others who prefer showing off their customisation and "the raw thrill of speed" provided by the Midnight Collective street racing scene.Read the full article on purexbox.com

The safety and well being of young children who play games like Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft has been an increasingly prominent topic among governments around the world. Now, the United Kingdom's online safety minister Kanishka Narayan has suggested a potentially drastic solution that would prevent children from speaking with any strangers on their chosen gaming platform. While speaking with The Times, Narayan suggested that a blanket ban of allowing children to engage with strangers in online games could be a part of a teenage social media ban that is currently under consideration. Narayan didn't call out any games in particular, but he noted that gaming platform activity "will weigh quite significantly in my mind as we think about how we stop some of the most egregious harms for young people." The United Kingdom hasn't formally decided to go forward with any ban at this time. The Times notes that the government may be examining Australia's social media ban for children under 16, which became law last year. Australia didn't place any restrictions on games under those guidelines, but it did place a ban on Twitch. Out of the major gaming platforms targeted towards children, Roblox has perhaps come under the heaviest from international lawmakers. Australia put the platform on notice over reports of grooming and sexual content. Florida's Attorney General accused Roblox of being a breading ground for predators, while the Attorney General of Texas sued The Roblox Corporation over child-exploitation accusations. In response to the growing outrage, The Roblox Corporation has pledged to try harder to keep kids from interacting with strangers. The developer has also agreed to spend $12 million to create a safer environment for children online.
"The current situation is the fault of our development team for failing to follow Steam's technical guidelines"
Mina the Hollower is very visually similar to classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color Zelda games like Link's Awakening and the Oracle duology. But mechanically it's significantly different, and Yacht Club discovered the distinction ran the risk of confusing players when it started putting the game in front of playtesters. As a result, it had to find clever ways to send a signal to players about this game's different expectations. In an interview with GameSpot, Yacht Club's David D'Angelo said that players often expected Zelda-like progression, including specialized equipment to solve puzzles. That isn't really how Mina works, however--the world is wide open, and you can go (mostly) anywhere you want right from the start. "The biggest thing we were worried about is that in a lot of ways it's not like a Zelda game in that you're not getting the Hookshot to cross the pit," D'Angelo explained. "One of the very common things that people ran into in our playtesting, people would get to the water area in the game and they would say, 'I can't go here. I don't have the flippers.'" Nox's Bayou is the second major dungeon in the game, according to the recommended order. But Mina never gains the ability to swim through the water, and instead, you're meant to learn that your burrowing ability allows you to jump across the gaps of deep water. Yacht Club's solution? To get you stuck on purpose. Sink or swim, so to speak. "The way we solved that was we made you get locked in that area so you eventually had to figure out that it was the burrowing mechanic to get you through the water," D'Angelo said. It was especially important to get this message across to players early, he said, because the difficulty level of areas is not scaled to the player's level. If you venture into an area of the map intended for later, you'll hit an "enormous" difficulty spike. The studio didn't want people finding themselves in situations where it's simply not fun because they wandered away from the second dungeon, only to hit an even more difficult challenge. On top of teaching players that they can navigate without Zelda-like equipment, Yacht Club made sure to build in plenty of exit ramps. So if you do wander into an area that's too tough, or just need to take a break, it's not that difficult to find your way back to safety where you can shop for equipment, look for other secrets, or level up Mina. "But at the same time, that is, I think, part of the experience we wanted," he said. "We definitely wanted it to have the old-school game Zelda feel where it's like you do get frustrated. You do get frustrated and have to overcome it." Frustration hasn't stopped Mina the Hollower from being the top-rated game of 2026 on Metacritic so far.
