Forza Horizon 6 Hints at Japan as Potential Setting Based on Team’s Australia Visit and Cult Classic Collaboration
Microsoft Gaming hasn’t confirmed Forza Horizon 6 yet, but a recent Instagram post hints that Playground Games is already developing the title. According to Cult Classic, an Australian car import firm, members of the Forza Horizon team traveled from the United States to Australia to photograph Kei cars—small Japanese vehicles. However, they reportedly couldn’t find recent models in Australia, so they photographed digital versions for the game at Cult Classic’s facilities instead. This development reportedly excited Cult Classic’s staff, as the firm’s employees are avid video game enthusiasts. Cult Classic later deleted the post and accompanying picture, potentially because it revealed too much information. Nevertheless, fans captured screenshots before its removal, intensifying speculation that the next Forza Horizon game might be set in Japan.
