Okay, so hear me out… the Forza Horizon series might be heading to Japan for its next installment! If you’ve been following the leaks, you’ll know that the buzz started with a car import company, and honestly, it’s got me pretty hyped.
Forza Horizon games are all about that open-world, festival vibe combined with some seriously fun driving. We’ve raced through Australia, the US, France, Mexico, and the UK. Each location brought its own unique flavor, from the dusty outback to vibrant city streets. But Japan? That’s a whole different level of awesome.
Imagine cruising through the neon-lit streets of Tokyo at night, the city lights reflecting off your ride. Then, picture yourself drifting through winding mountain passes in Hakone, with Mount Fuji in the background. Or maybe hitting up some coastal roads on the island of Hokkaido. Japan has such a diverse landscape, from bustling metropolises to serene countryside, not to mention its rich car culture.
Think about the car scene in Japan. JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) cars are legendary among car enthusiasts. A Forza Horizon set in Japan would be the perfect place to showcase icons like the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Supra, Honda NSX, and Mazda RX-7 in their homeland. The sheer variety of vehicles, from tuner cars to supercars, could be incredible.
And let’s not forget the gameplay possibilities. We could have unique street racing events inspired by Japanese underground car meets, off-road challenges through national parks, or even some epic highway runs. The Forza team always does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of a location, and I can only imagine what they’d do with Japan. The detailed environments, the dynamic weather, and the sheer beauty of the country – it all adds up to a potentially stunning game.
Of course, this is all based on leaks and rumors, so nothing is confirmed yet. But the thought of hitting the open roads of Japan in the next Forza Horizon is seriously exciting. It’s the kind of setting that could offer a fresh and unforgettable experience for long-time fans and new players alike.
What do you guys think? Would Japan be a good fit for Forza Horizon 6? Let me know in the comments!
