When it comes to the Forza Horizon series, specifically 6, location is important. With each release of the games in the series, the Horizon Festival heads somewhere different. If you are unaware of the setting, players partake in a unique racing festival. One that spans different locations around the world each time. And through a variety of different vehicles and events. When it comes to the games, the location that players get to drive around in is the most important. I know for sure that with each new entry, I can’t wait to know where I am heading next. And with Forza Horizon 6, we now know where we are taking our racing skills next.
What is the Forza Horizon 6 Location?
Japan is the location that players are heading to in Forza Horizon 6. With both countryside and metropolitan areas to explore with their vehicles. It’s the first time that the series is heading there and is one of the most requested spots within the community. Due to the car culture surrounding Japan, including the JDM world. With its Cherry Blossom trees and the Tokyo skyline, it seems to be shaping up to be a stunning map to explore. With the series spanning the world, it was only a matter of time before it hit such an iconic locale.
However, like other maps in the series, it won’t be a one-to-one recreation. Instead, it’s going to be a more condensed version with representations to mimic the area of Japan. Furthermore, like in Forza Horizon 4, there are going to be active seasons returning to the game. Things such as snow and dense rain will frequent the map during those times. Furthermore, we may be seeing a focus on more of the Japanese car brands, such as Honda, Nissan, and Toyota, in the car roster.
Where Else Has Forza Horizon Been?
Since the first Forza Horizon, the series has been to many locations, including America and Australia. Each one maintains iconic parts of those regions. If you are looking to take part in the latest Horizon, you may be curious where the festival has been. The following locations are where the games have taken players before:
- Colorado, USA – Forza Horizon
- Europe (Southern France & Northern Italy) – Forza Horizon 2
- Australia – Forza Horizon 3
- Great Britain – Forza Horizon 4
- Mexico – Forza Horizon 5
The Horizon series is all about making the map your playground. In an incredible range of cars to drive. And the developers have shown that the Horizon Festival traverses all over the world. With each entry of the game, the maps continue to grow and get more detailed. With Forza Horizon 6 heading to Japan, it’s going to be exciting to see what places can be recognized by players. There are still so many locations for the future of the series to head to. But for now, when the latest game releases in May, players get to enjoy one of the most-hyped places to date for the Forza franchise.
