Forza Horizon 6 races to Japan in 2026, Promising Immersive Landscapes
racing fans are poised for a uniquely challenging experience as Forza Horizon 6 will be set in Japan, developers announced September 25, 2025. The next installment in the popular open-world racing franchise promises to push boundaries with environments where the landscape and cities themselves become integral-and potentially disruptive-elements of gameplay.
The decision to locate Forza Horizon 6 in Japan marks a significant departure for the series, known for its expansive, yet often geographically forgiving, open worlds.According to jon Arceta and Kyoko Yamashita, speaking via Xbox Wire, the Japanese setting will feature densely populated urban areas and varied terrain designed to actively impact races. Players can expect to be “knocked down” by the environment, requiring adaptive driving skills beyond customary track mastery. The game is currently slated for release in early 2026.
Details regarding specific cities, vehicle selections, and gameplay mechanics remain forthcoming. Though, the developers have emphasized a commitment to authentically representing the Japanese driving culture and aesthetic.
Currently, the Xbox Series X – 1 TB is available for 599,99 € on Amazon.de.
