The development of a video game revolves around 4 main phases:
- The phase of the concept
- The pre-production phase
- The production phase
- The polishing phase
We know that the next installment of the car simulation license is already in the third phase. In the latest Forza Monthly, fresh out today, Dan Greenawalt and Chris Esaki delved into the development of the title. Dan also went back to these different stages and confirmed this Forza Motorsport was still in production.
In production, we put our heads in and build. You build together as a team and the goal is to meet your deadlines, have great energy, great clarity. They are one and build as a team.
Then the last step, which we will go into next year, is the polishing. And polishing is very important. When you have a huge game like Motorsports and a lot of new systems that you’ve redesigned, that’s a lot of surface to polish. And that takes a long time.
Therefore, if we apply this to the calendar of the title and its release is scheduled for spring 2023, it is unlikely Forza Motorsport appear again early next year. Who knows, the Playground Games teams might prove us wrong!
