Microsoft’s next Forza Horizon game is set in Japan, going by an Instagram ad that appears to have been posted ahead of reveal. The post has been taken down, but one of the internet’s many screen-grabbing Eyes of Sauron has preserved it for posterity. “The Horizon Festival is heading to Japan,” it reads. I imagine that Japan is also where Microsoft had planned to announce the game – they’ve doing a showcase at Tokyo Game Show 2025 in around an hour’s time. Microsoft have previously indicated that the next Forza will launch in 2026.
