Forza Horizon 4 - News and Rumours

Post by Weena »

Leaked concept art for the next Forza game implies it’ll be set in Asia rather than the UK, but the artwork may not be all that it seems…

Considering there’s been a new Forza game every year for the last seven years it doesn’t take much power of clairvoyance to imagine there’s going to be a new one this year.

And if it wasn’t for the rumour of developer Playground Games working on a reboot of Fable it’d be just as obvious that it’s going to be Forza Horizon 4.

In fact, that’s exactly what Xbox Spain said it’s going to be, so the real question becomes not whether it exists but where it’ll be set. And looking at this supposed concept art it looks like Hong Kong.

The earliest, but entirely unsubstantiated, rumours suggested that the game’s setting would be Japan. And while this concept does seem to be Hong Kong, it’s possible the overall theme may be East Asia in general.

The concept art first popped up on Reddit, but has since been traced back to production company Leading Light Design (who are also British, just like Playground Games).

The question is not so much whether the art is real but exactly how old it is. The Forza logo used is certainly an older version and none of the cars are recent.

Which doesn’t mean it’s fake, but it could mean the artwork is no longer relevant to the new game.

yeah, rumors indicate it will be in japan mostly.
but only time will tell, i know we will be busy with the crew 2
for most of 2018 for sure so im not really that fuzzed about a maybe...

I just hope they will make a bigger map once again since the map for
each new horizon version doubles, but that might be a pipe dream.

I guess "72-player-servers" does not mean 72 players in one session, but it sounds hardly like dedicated servers which would be future compared to the stoneage-system of The Crew (2). btw Turn10 always seems to do (nearly) the same stuff as Ivory Tower and it looks better (on paper), but we will drink tea and take a final look at it after release.

sidenote: The map will only be as big as in FH3, confirmed by Ralph Fulton on Twitter. So thats a definitive down from the start for us cruisers.

Here is a video where PXHrAii sums up a lot of informations. Unfortunately for the most of you it's in german.
