Forza Horizon 5 is one of Microsoft’s most anticipated games (just like its cousin Motorsport in curve 10), and obviously with these expectations your share of rumors comes in all directions. Of course, without official confirmation from Redmond and / or Playground Games, it is advisable to be very careful with the statements that can be seen everywhere.
At first the saga power has always switched between the franchise Motorsport and horizon Year for year. However, this cycle was broken with in 2018 Forza Horizon 4 This is currently the latest iteration. So this is new in logic Motorsport who should follow suit. That’s good because there is one that Microsoft announced last year. Called sober Forza MotorsportThe title won’t be an eighth episode as such, but rather a reboot of the series that has since been criticized for going in circles Forza Motorsport 4 released in October 2011 on Xbox 360. The trailer shown is only a foretaste of the game, the stage of development of which is unknown. With the Xbox One mention going away, many envisioned that this promotion would result in the title being exclusive to Xbox Series X | S applies and therefore will not be released during the Crossgen period announced by Microsoft from the end of 2020 to the end of 2020. End of 2022. Problem! Forza Horizon 4 Date October 2018, in other words a very long moment in the history of the franchise (four, even if we look at that Forza Motorsport 7). From there, many people began to push the possibility of releasing a new one Forza Horizon before the next Motorsport. All of this remained very vague until then Jeff Grubb, VentureBeat editor and well-known insider, doesn’t say in a podcast that he believed in the release of a new one Forza Horizon From this year on. After this, This was in no way a categorical confirmation, just a feeling, a conviction of the person concerned.
On the landing page, Japan was mentioned as the next frame in the series for a while.. However, this was also the case Forza Horizon 4until we knew the Playground Games title would be set in the studio’s home countries, UK. However, a couple of tweets posted by Jez Corden, Notepad in Windows Central that was responded to Jeff Grubb can provide new information about the location of the next Horizon Festival. Indeed, For a little over a week now, it’s been a brand new destination that’s rising in player polls: Mexico. It must be said that the two men’s recent tweets cast doubt on them. However, they are generally well informed as some of their statements have proven to be correct in the past. For example, in a tweet published on April 24th on his Twitter account, Jez Corden said, “I really want to visit Mexico one day,” to which Jeff Grubb replied that he was taking Spanish classes before ending on a humorous little statement in the Iberian language. At this point you will not be saying anything new.
I also do my Duolingo Spanish classes.

However, during a podcast on Iron Lords, Jeff Grubb confirmed that the tweets were indeed related to the saga power. This initially returned to the fact that the first rumors sent the saga of playground games to the side of the Land of the Rising Sun. He said he received pictures at the time that turned out to be completely wrong and went on to say that sooner or later we would get to know this destination anyway. It is after the fact that Jez Corden Was there based on his aforementioned tweet, which some sources come from Jeff Grubb asked him why he said he wanted to visit Mexico. Finally this one confirmed that it is actually about this country, but without wanting to say more.
Unless official announcements have been made by Xbox and / or Playground Games, all of these statements should be greeted with a grain of salt, even if the two insiders involved are fairly reliable. If this rumor were true, Mexico would be a travel destination of choice because the country has a wide variety of landscapes ranging from very large cities on the continent or by the sea, vast desert plains, tropical forests and even high altitude areas. Anyway, with E3’s approach where we know Microsoft will be present (at least digitally) without knowing if we can expect a big show, it is not unlikely that we will know more about it Forza Horizon 5. As a reminder, the previous episode was announced at E3 2018 for a release that was retired a few months later on October 2, 2018. Sequel follows!
