'Mavericks: Proving Grounds' Developer Runs Out Of Funds, Gets Canceled

by Rainier on July 31, 2019 @ 4:42 p.m. PDT

Mavericks is an open world shooter built using improbable's low-latency networking technology combined CryEngine's beautiful visuals, resulting is a high-fidelity, dynamic world with destructibility and persistence enabling you to leave your impact on the world for everyone to see.

Mavericks is engineered with a focus on performance, stability, and strategic gameplay — we've created a great foundation to bring Battle Royale to a place it deserves.

Enter the Proving Grounds, a place where you can show what you're made of in the ultimate fight to the death experience.

Mavericks: Proving Grounds is made possible thanks to Improbable’s groundbreaking technology, SpatialOS. SpatialOS is a cloud-based platform for creating games that go beyond the design limitations of traditional server architectures, allowing developers to build massive, living, persistent worlds with player populations that were previously impossible.

Mavericks’ battle royale will also feature a 1000-player mode that will break the battleground and offer a revolutionary multiplayer experience. Available shortly after launch, these 1000-player battles will feature five-player squads dropped into a continually shrinking section of the game’s 16x16km (100 square miles) map to compete to the last team standing. 200 to 400-player solo and squad games will be available as standard from Mavericks’ early access release later in the year.

Automation Games has announced that it is entering administration (seeking protection from creditos) and as such is canceling any further development on Mavericks: Proving Grounds.

Paul Cooper and Paul Appleton were appointed joint administrators of Automaton Games Limited on 30th July 2019. They are managing the affairs, business and property of the company. The joint administrators act as agents of the company and act without personal liability. Paul Cooper and Paul Appleton are licensed to act as insolvency practitioners in UK by the ICAEW.

Please be advised that due to insufficient funding, the development of the Mavericks: Proving Grounds game has now ceased. The joint administrators are in the process of licensing the Deceit game so there will be no change in the live operation and provision of this game.

Players joining the Mavericks: Proving Grounds beta can expect a genre-defining experience including advanced gameplay systems such as destructible environments, unique and dynamic wildlife and terrain deformation. This makes Mavericks the world’s only persistent, living world battle royale game.

Mavericks: Proving Grounds will release in two phases: the battle royale mode in Winter 2018, supplemented by a persistent open world in 2019.
