My guess is Japan or Germany setting

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I'm sure it is in some form of development since even before 5 came out. That doesn't really tell us anything at this point about time frames however.

2024 is a safe bet.

Did you think they took the next year off work?

Yeah I have to agree with you. The formula has gotten stale after FH3, FH4, and FH5 all having basically the same structure. I too hate the awful writing in FH5 in particular.

Gotta be Japan. I can’t wait for this. FH6 is gonna be crazy. Leave old Gen behind, beautiful Japan, mountains, vroom vroom, deliver that pizza, it’s called a motor race Toto

Sounds about right. FH4 to 5 was 3 years. Amazing this kind of game comes day one to Game Pass.
Just stop... the game needs more time in the oven for a next gen only release. And yeah, they have to knock it out of the park with a Japan setting.
No cringey soymilk hipsters this time please. Also please stop with the participation medal syndrome from the latest games. Make your devs play 500 he of horizon 1 before writing a single line of code.

Yep, and that's a little shady posting and promotion of the "news" here. This image goes back to Forza Horizon 4 rumors/leaks (which I believe only amounted to a Japanese Automobile Car Pack?), and they photoshopped the numbers.
Forza Horizon 4 Japan Expansion Leaked by Xbox Website — The Nobeds
Playground Games have been extremely quiet on details about Forza Horizon 4’s second expansion, but if a screenshot from Xbox themselves is to be believed, it appears that this upcoming expansion will take place in Forza’s most community-requested location - Japan. Discovered on ResetEra by user
www.thenobeds.com
Maybe they're recruiting for Forza Horizon 6? (It seems inevitable at this point.) Maybe they're recruiting for a hoped-for FH5 themed DLC? (Playground regularly does amazing one-off themed tracks, and #5 will hopefully have something big again.) Maybe both, maybe they're just recruiting because they know they need designers after having yet another big hit? Maybe somebody left and one way or another the seat needs to be filled? Maybe they'll reinvent Forza Horizon in the sixth game and, like Forza Motorsport, it'll start totally fresh rather than as Forza Horizon 6 next time?
Whatever's going on, this tweet knows little but that the office is recruiting...

I don't think it's an official image though
Hopefully Japan and hopefully with a new formula. I hate the wheels of fortune. You can win high end super cars much too early and then there is no sense in using the other cars anymore. I want to progress and earn my cars. Also the auto tune should be much more expensive than manual tuning.

Yeah.
Hope you can now drive in the big Japanese skyscrapers. So still open world, but also indoors.

Both destinations would be great. And with both countries, they could include race tracks with heritage and famous amateur driving locations.
Japan was on every fans wishlist for so long, so I guess they have to bring it. But they might come up with a different location anyway.

Driving all those super/hypercars on autobahns would be nuts!
Why would they stop development if the game needs more time in the oven?
If they need more development time, Shouldn’t an earlier start date be preferred?
Let’s not ditch logic here

I haven't been on 5 much lately, waiting for the DLC to drop so I find it unlikely they are already in full production. I've been going back to 4 recently and I find it generally nicer and more interesting to drive roud (except winter). Anyway, proverbial wishlist
1. I like seasons but some of the PR/Speed stuff can only be done in certain seasons. FH5 was better in this regard but FH4 was bad for it
2. The festival playlists have aleady been tweaked in FH5 and are largely better for it, I enjoy the trial and don't want it nerfing. I also like the presentation much more than FH4
3. I don't like the Arcade, I prefer the Forzathons
4. Playground Games needs to be put out to pasture, it's an awful mode with awful game types
5. If you have an eliminator, make sure it works properly
6. I'd like better stories

Agreed. I fell off FH5 hard after realizing it was the same damn thing I played in 3 and 4. I'm almost certain that some of the off-road track layouts were straight up copy/pasted from similar events in FH4, just with desert Mexican terrain rather than muddy English countryside.
FH3 with all the DLC was the peak of the series as far as I'm concerned. FH4 and FH5 were just copies of the FH3 formula with increasing levels of crap slapped onto it (seasons, seasonal confined "events", the Arcade, more Festival cringe nonsense, etc).

Hell yes! I have close to 5 days time played in this game and it's one of those few games that is permanently pinned to my task bar. Such a blessing that this game was released on PC.

Yeah I loved FH3 but I was done playing FH4 after 1 hour, I got burned out

Good luck to them, hope to see something a little more different than the last.
No more reskins of 3.

FH5 was incredibly successful, so they might stick to the old formula.

I personally love the horizon racing games.
But I see some commenters commenting without offering ideas for what they could do to freshen the formula up?
I honestly can't really think what they could add or change at this point to a open world car racing game. Other than new map/events or whatever.
I can imagine this is a common issue with all racing games too (as what can they really do to be different?)
I'm personally not bored off the formula and really looking forward to the upcoming expansions.

It needs big changes.
1 and 3 are amongst my favourite games ever made but what a mess the other few have been (despite being great games at the same time).
2 I understand they tried something new and didn't really pull it off hence they perfected it with 3.
But 4 and 5 have no excuse really, they tried to build off 3 and instead somehow ended up going backwards instead.
Still hard to believe the best progress system of any of the 5 games is in the first one. In fact, maybe that's not even surprising given 4 and 5 are severely aimed at casual players which I wonder if that has something to do with both being on Game Pass Day 1.

Same for me but only with FM4 and FM5. Hundreds of hours spend in FM4 and one hour in FM5.

I saw the title of this thread and thought:
I love Forza games, however the way they are churning them out take's the edge of them, soon they'll turn into the likes of Assassins Creed and Far Cry, wont touch those games because of how boring and predictable they are.
