Timing, practicalities, experience, plenty has played into the reason why it waited until the sixth game to head to Japan.
The developers over at Playground Games have been asked to take the Forza Horizon series to Japan for years. Players have wanted to bask in the neon lights and the street racing culture, in and around the epic cities and through the picturesque rural environments. Despite this desire, we’ve had to wait until the sixth chapter in the series before this has become a reality, as Forza Horizon 6, launching next year on PC and Xbox Series X/S will finally head to the Land of Rising Sun.
So why now, why did Playground wait as long as it did to offer up a Japanese adventure? In an Xbox Wire blog post, the developer explains its reasoning in depth.
