Rumor: Forza Horizon 5 Release Date and Setting
Credible rumors have surfaced online suggesting when Forza Horizon 5 will debut on the market, and the same, the source has also dismissed reports that the action of the game is set in Japan.
For some time there have been rumors about Forza Horizon 5, the next installment of the excellent racing game series from Playground Games. The latest reports suggest that the release may take place later, this year.
The source of the information is the, usually very well informed, journalist Jeff Grubb from Venture Beat. He also stated that speculation about the game being set in Japan is false.
If Forza Horizon 5 is going to be released this year, then we shouldn't have to wait long for the project to be revealed. We know that Microsoft is preparing to present many new games this summer. Mostly this involves Bethesda's work, but we wouldn't be surprised if the announcement of the latest installment of Playground Games' racing game series became part of Microsoft's summer media offensive.
The prospect of Forza Horizon 5 launching this year, however, has not pleased all fans. Some of them fear that it may mean the cross-gen nature of the project. The need to develop an Xbox One version could make the release on Xbox Series X/S not as ambitious as it could be in the case of a project developed exclusively for next-gen.
