Earlier this year, Xbox President Phil Spencer announced at an annual game launch conference that the new Forza game will be released in 2026, and 2026 will also be a major year for Xbox as a whole.We know that Xbox is no longer concerned about the Forza series. The recent major layoffs in Forza developer Turn 10 has been deeply affected and has become an auxiliary studio, which means that the Forza game released in 2026 can only be the Forza Horizon series.
"Forza Horizon" has led players to travel around the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia and Mexico. The stage settings of each generation are the focus of fans' hot discussion.However, we may not have a chance to discuss this this year, as an Australian auto import company appears to have leaked game information by accident.
"Forza Horizon 6" may go to Japan
This news was first shared by Reddit user RexSonic, and the company that broke the news was Cult & Classic.They recently claimed in an Instagram post that an official developer of the Forza Horizon series had visited and took photos of several of its vehicles.While the news itself does not completely reveal the game content, the racing in the post seems to strongly suggest that Forza Horizon 6's setting will be in Japan.
In the photo, we can see a staff member filming what Cult & Classic calls a "newer lightweight car (Kei car).If you are not familiar with cars, this information may not be anything special, but this brand is extremely rare outside of Japan.And if Forza Horizon 6 is not on Japan, there is little reason for developers to scan this light vehicle.
What's even more suspicious is that this Instagram post was later deleted, but someone has taken screenshots in time to save the evidence.Japan is undoubtedly a very suitable stage for Forza Horizon and is also one of the most popular destinations in the player community.So it's both reasonable and highly likely to bring the next work to Japan for Playground Games and Turn 10.
