Microsoft's Gaming division underwent widespread cuts in July, creating uncertainty around the Forza franchise's future. A leak indicates a possible new Forza Horizon title and its setting. Australian car importer Cult and Classic posted images of a Forza Horizon team member photographing Kei cars, stating the photographer had flown from the United States to scan vehicles unavailable in America. Kei cars are small, expressway-legal Japanese vehicles predominantly designed and manufactured in Japan. The scans suggest Forza Horizon 6 could be set in Japan. Playground Games released Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 and is currently developing Fable, slated for 2026.
The Forza franchise's future has been a bit uncertain since Microsoft announced widespread cuts in its Gaming division in July. It seems, however, that a new Forza Horizon game is on the cards. A recent leak has pointed to the setting of the next Forza Horizon title. According to a now deleted social media post, a Forza Horizon developer was reportedly scanning specific cars for the next entry in the arcade racing series.
"Exciting news, we have Cody here from @forzahorizonofficial, shooting cars for the next installation in the series," the caption on the now deleted Instagram post read (via VGC). "As there are no late-model Kei cars in America, he has flown out from the States to use our cars as the basis for their digital versions. "We are huge gamers here at Cult and Classic, and it is an honour to be supporting Forza and making Kei cars accessible virtually for people who can't have them IRL."
Kei cars are light motor vehicles, the smallest category of Japanese cars that are expressway legal. It's also worth noting that a large majority of existing Kei cars have been designed and made in Japan. This suggests that the next game in the series, likely Forza Horizon 6, could head to Japan.
