The Prologue of any Forza Horizon is the first impression – the hook that tells you what to expect in terms of excitement and atmosphere. Playground Games has released gameplay showcasing the same in Forza Horizon 6, and there are a lot of incredible things to pack.
Starting with a drive through the countryside in a 2024 Nissan GT-R Nismo alongside a bullet train while Scott Tyler calls out through Horizon Bass Arena, it quickly transitions to the Alps. In this section, you’ll control a 2021 RJ Anderson #37 Polaris RZR Pro 4 Truck, hitting some sick jumps and spraying snow everywhere to a screaming crowd.
The next spot looks to offer some Eurobeat and vehicles meant for Initial D, but quickly transitions to J-Pop and the wheel of a 1995 Porsche 911 GT2. This is an example of the new Togue race event, though the sheer lack of drifting left me wanting. It all culminates in the only way that a Prologue should – a convoy to the Festival Site, this time in the 2025 GR GT Prototype.
Long story short, that’s one way to drum up hype for a racing game, but it’s only a slice of what can be expected when Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19th. Check out the full map of Horizon Japan here, or learn more about the artists that Playground teamed up with for some stunning in-game murals. You can also look forward to more details when hands-on previews drop later today.
