Following on from a small leak the opposite week, which revealed Playground Video games had been scanning Kei vehicles in Japan for an unnannounced sequel, there’s now compelling proof which says they’ll be formally asserting Forza Horizon 6 very quickly.
Home windows Central claims that they’ve seen official inside paperwork discussing the truth that the sport can be revealed on the Tokyo Recreation Present, which makes whole sense if the sport’s setting can be Tokyo.
The sometimes dependable NateTheHate additionally confirmed the data in a reply to Window’s Central’s tweet, and added in a later reply that he has heard the sport is aiming for an early 2026 launch. This ties in with what Xbox head-honcho Phil Spencer teased an enormous 2026 for the model: “I’m excited to share that gamers will get to have fun 25 years of Xbox with a brand new Fable, the subsequent Forza, Gears of Conflict: E-Day, and the return of a basic that’s been with us because the starting.”
Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming has additionally backed up the claims of official paperwork floating round. He additionally acknowledged on X that, “There’s one massively disgruntled worker at Xbox lol”. I assume he’s referring to the pissed off worker being the one leaking the paperwork.
Nonetheless, Henderson’s phrases do give us an important piece of knowledge: this appears to be a singular supply. As I’m certain you guys have already guessed, a singular supply means it isn’t as dependable. This might simply be one asshole making issues up. Nonetheless, between all of the dependable individuals reporting on this supply, there’s a really excessive chance that they’ve verified who this worker is, and whether it is certainly a disgruntled Xbox worker, spewing faux info isn’t going to a lot – actually not in comparison with throwing out actual, correct data which ruins Xbox’s huge shock.
It’s additionally price noting that Insider Gaming’s article on the topic yesterday acknowledged that “it’s vital to take this info with a grain of salt till it’s both confirmed by Microsoft or independently verified by Insider Gaming.”
Henderson, although, appears to be indicating that they’ve verified it. Or, a minimum of, he’s confirming the paperwork have been floating round.
Placing apart the leaks for a second, it has been 4 years because the final Forza Horizon recreation, so it’s actually the precise time interval for a sixth entry, particularly since Forza Horizon 5 landed on PS5 earlier this 12 months and did fairly effectively for itself.
