We’re inching ever closer to one of the racing simulation genre’s most highly anticipated titles, with Forza Horizon 6 now days away from its final release.
And as if the hype wasn’t already through the roof, we’re going to be getting a peek into what the franchise’s Japanese chapter has in store for us, thanks to a hands-on preview from Jake Brigstock, who posted about getting some time with the game for indy100 on April 8th, 6 AM PT. Presumably, other outlets will go hands-on with the open-world racer as well, thus providing much more gameplay.
The preview follows some new trailers detailing returning cars, a new approach to Showcase events, the addition of window decals on its cars, and some new insights on Tokyo, all of which have steadily built up hype ahead of the game’s launch on May 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PC.
It’s a great time to be a Forza fan, or somebody looking to play it on a PlayStation for the first time in the franchise’s history (though that version arrives later this year). Either way, it’s time to rev those engines up and steady your hands on the wheel as you prepare to take on winding roads and lush scenes of Japan.
I'll be previewing Forza Horizon 6 for indy100 (honestly can't wait for this one) – embargo lifts Wednesday 8 April at 2pm BST (9am ET / 6am PT) so keep an eye out for our coverage.Access has been provided by @xbox.com. #ForzaHorizon #ForzaHorizon6 #Forza #Xbox #Gaming
