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 saying Forza Horizon 6 very quickly.
Home windows Central claims that they’ve seen official inside paperwork discussing the truth that the sport will probably be revealed on the Tokyo Recreation Present, which makes complete sense if the sport’s setting can be Tokyo.
The sometimes dependable NateTheHate additionally confirmed the knowledge 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 rejoice 25 years of Xbox with a brand new Fable, the subsequent Forza, Gears of Struggle: E-Day, and the return of a traditional that’s been with us for the reason that 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.
Nevertheless, Henderson’s phrases do give us an important piece of data: this appears to be a singular supply. As I’m positive you guys have already guessed, a singular supply means it isn’t as dependable. This might simply be one asshole making issues up. Nevertheless, between all of the dependable folks 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 data isn’t going to a lot – actually not in comparison with throwing out actual, correct data which ruins Xbox’s massive shock.
It’s additionally price noting that Insider Gaming’s article on the topic yesterday acknowledged that “it’s vital to take this data 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, no less than, he’s confirming the paperwork have been floating round.
Placing apart the leaks for a second, it has been 4 years for the reason that final Forza Horizon sport, so it’s actually the suitable time interval for a sixth entry, particularly since Forza Horizon 5 landed on PS5 earlier this yr and did fairly nicely for itself. Might we be taking a look at Forza Horizon 6 launching on PS5 and Change 2?
