Get ready to embark on an epic journey and earn your place as a Horizon Legend in Japan! Forza Horizon 6 is here, and it's time to dive into the thrilling world of discovery and racing. But here's where it gets controversial... you won't be starting as a superstar this time!
A month ago, we unveiled Forza Horizon 6, and the excitement has been building ever since. One aspect that has sparked curiosity is the campaign, and we're here to unravel the secrets of how it blends exploration and racing.
In previous Forza Horizon games, you arrived as a renowned festival champion. But in Horizon 6, you're a tourist with a dream. You'll need to prove yourself and build your reputation from scratch. It's a fresh start, and the journey is yours to shape.
As you land in Japan, you'll meet two new friends, Mei and Jordy, who share your ambition. Jordy, a racing enthusiast, and Mei, a knowledgeable car builder, will guide you through Japan's cultural gems and help you qualify for the Horizon Festival. Mei's day trips will offer an authentic taste of each region, making your journey truly special.
To join the Horizon Festival, you must first qualify. The Horizon Qualifiers and Invitational await, and with each Wristband you earn, new challenges and races unlock. These Festival races are carefully curated, requiring specific car choices for Road, Dirt, and Cross Country events. As you progress, the races become more intense, pushing you to master faster vehicles.
After completing a race, the Race Customizer unlocks, allowing you to tailor events to your liking. Adjust Drivatars, weather, time, and even car choices. If you're playing with friends, you can lead the Convoy and shape the event together. It's the perfect way to experience Forza Horizon 6 with your crew.
Earning your Wristbands is just the beginning. Spectacular Showcase Events, like the Horizon's racing mech 'Chaser Zero', and the new Horizon Rush events at exciting locations, will test your skills. Horizon Rush is an ultimate driver's challenge, where you navigate obstacle courses for maximum stars.
Collect all 7 Wristbands, and you become a Horizon Legend. This prestigious title grants access to Legend Island, an exclusive space for the elite. Here, you'll find the demanding Legend Island Circuit and unique events, including the colossal Goliath, a freeway loop that's a true test of skill.
While the Horizon Festival offers a structured progression, Japan itself is a vast playground. Discover Japan lets you explore at your own pace, earning Stamps inspired by Japan's stamp collecting tradition. From taking photos to delivering food, collecting cars, and playing Horizon Stories, every activity contributes to your progress.
The Horizon Festival restricts Hypercars until you've earned the Purple Wristband, providing a strict progression path. But for those who want to jump into the fastest cars sooner, Discover Japan offers unofficial events, allowing players to choose their own adventure.
Collecting Stamps unlocks new Player Houses, Customizable Garages, and even a mountain valley estate where you can build and decorate in the open world. Your Collection Journal tracks your campaign progress, rewarding you with unique cars, credits, and cosmetic items. It's a comprehensive record of your journey.
And here's a game-changer: cross-save support! For the first time, you can continue your Forza Horizon 6 campaign across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, PlayStation 5, and Steam. Your progress follows you, no matter the device.
Whether you're a racing enthusiast or an explorer at heart, Forza Horizon 6 offers an immersive and progressive campaign. Japan awaits, and we can't wait for you to experience it!
Forza Horizon 6 releases on May 19 for Xbox Series X|S and PC, with PlayStation 5 to follow. Early Access is available with the Premium Edition. Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members can upgrade early. Pre-order now and receive an exclusive Ferrari J50!
