Forza Horizon 6 has been revealed, and it's finally taking racing game fans to Japan – a location that developer Playground Games knows players have been wanting since the start of the series. However, the team wanted to ensure that they were being "authentic and respectful with this location."

Speaking to GamesRadar+, Playground Games art director Don Arceta acknowledges that the upcoming setting has "been something that the fans have been wishing for, ever since Forza Horizon 1, Forza Horizon 2. It's been kind of a dream location for a lot of players. And even as developers of the series, it's been a dream location for us as well." Needless to say, he adds: "So we're so excited not only that it's announced, but that the next game actually is in Japan."
