From the varied roads of Colorado in the US to the vibrant, cactus-filled plains of Mexico, Playground Games' Forza Horizon series has put us behind the wheel of various sprawling locations. Drawing inspiration from their real-world counterparts, each iteration has brought us a more expansive and impressive open-world than the last. But if you thought Forza Horizon 5's open-world shifted it up a gear, Forza Horizon 6 is about to go full throttle in one of the series' most exciting and ambitious locations yet: Japan.
Officially announced during Tokyo Game Show, the trailer took us through the series location history, before revealing Japan and confirming that Forza Horizon 6 is set to land on Xbox Series X/S and PC sometime in 2026 (with a PS5 release to come later). In light of the big reveal, I sat down with art director Don Arceta and cultural consultant Kyoko Yamashita to chat about the next setting we'll be racing through – one which has been requested for a long time.
