Speculation and leaked details continue to point toward Forza Horizon 6 heading to Japan. Things started picking up steam after a now-deleted Instagram post from Australian car importer Cult & Classic revealed Playground Games scanning Japanese Kei cars, which are rarely found outside the country.
The discovery has fueled strong belief that the next Horizon festival will lean into Japanese automotive culture, with settings that could range from dense urban centers to twisting mountain roads.
Reports also suggest the game will be officially unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, scheduled for September 25–28. Windows Central notes that internal documents point toward a showcase during the event, making it one of the biggest announcements to watch next month.
As for release timing, nothing has been confirmed, but Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has hinted that the next entry in the series is expected sometime in 2026. Fans will have to wait for official confirmation from Playground Games, but Asuka shared her feelings on the subject.
