Forza Horizon 6 Japan Setting Seemingly Leaked

by

In one of its best performances yet, Forza Horizon 5 has shown itself as a standout title within the series. When Microsoft introduced the game to PlayStation 5, it quickly became one of the highest-selling games on Sony’s consoles so far. It is still undecided whether Forza Motorsport will also be available on PlayStation 5; however, a recent leak sheds light on the potential future of the series. Players may have just received the first clue about where the next game will take place after exploring Mexico in Forza Horizon 5.

Based on a since-deleted Instagram post by the Australian automobile firm, Cult & Classic, it’s rumored that Forza Horizon 6 could be set in Japan. This speculation arises from photos showing the company scanning a popular Japanese Kei car.

While Forza Horizon 6 isn’t definitively confirmed to be set in Japan, it marks one of the first hints for fans. In contrast to previous games that included vehicles from various nations, this could possibly indicate a new addition to the series. However, the game’s setting might not necessarily be Japan.

Speaking of it, Japan could make an excellent backdrop for Forza Horizon 6, given its rich diversity of landscapes suitable for the game. Its bustling cities also promise exciting locations to race. Some enthusiasts worry about the lack of diversity due to Japan’s size and varying biomes, but there’s immense potential waiting to be tapped. It would follow in the footsteps of regions previously featured in games, like the United States, Mexico, Great Britain, and Australia.

It seems there’s been a hint about Forza Horizon 6 potentially featuring a Japan setting, as suggested by an Instagram post from Australian car import company Cult & Classic (now deleted). This post was regarding scanning Kei cars, which are compact Japanese vehicles with specific weight restrictions, for the upcoming game.

Fans should await an official statement from either Xbox or Playground Games before getting too carried away by rumors.

Currently, we don’t have a set launch date for Forza Horizon 6. But fear not, as Forza Horizon 5 is continually being updated, particularly with its recent release on PlayStation 5. In the meantime, there’s already a wealth of content within the game to keep players engaged. Once Forza Horizon 6 arrives, developers Playground Games can leverage their past experiences to craft what could be the finest installment in the series yet.
