In a developer Automaton has talked more about Mavericks. A 400 player battle royal with persistent world RPG ambitions that have more than a little ring of Destiny to it. 

The game will be launching in two stages, starting with the 400 player battle royal this year and the persistent world RPG element next year which will host 1000 players. Key to both is that Mavericks' world has a deeper level of simulation than many other games of the type, using ne▨w SpacialOS tech. I won't go into details bu⭕t it involves using cloud-based servers to let games access much more power. 

Speaking on the PC Gamer Weekender livestream Automaton talked about the game proving a m𝓀uch deeper way of interacting with the world's environment such as its vegetation and wildlife. While you'll mainly be running aroun🥀d shooting everyone you can find, the promise is there will be a much deep level of simulation and strategy to it all.
