Microsoft has taken the wraps off its next « Forza Motorsport » installment, teasing new features, enhancements, and gorgeous racing environments.
The Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 preview for « Forza Motorsport » highlights some much-needed changes that its predecessor has been missing. It has been five years since the last entry, « Forza Motorsport 7 », was released. With developer Turn 10 Studios lately setting its focus on its open-world spin-off « Forza Horizon », it’s about time the series returns to its racing simulation roots. « Forza Motorsport » finally takes a break from the arcade feel of its open-world spin-off to dive straight into the thrill of simulating endurance racing and GT championships more realistically. Despite being the eighth installment in the main franchise, the title remains « Forza Motorsport », likely indicating this is a reboot of the first game released back in 2005. Xbox unveiled its first teaser in 2020, showing a cinematic trailer that was actually made using its in-game engine. However, what it didn’t reveal were specific changes, improvements over past games, and what its gameplay feels like in general. Fortunately, the latest « Forza Motorsport » trailer does just that, but without giving away too many of its surprises.
