Exciting news is brewing in the gaming world! Ahead of the Xbox Tokyo Games Showcase, rumors are swirling about the leak of *Forza Horizon 6*. This highly anticipated game appears to be set in Japan, a dream location for many fans.
An early Instagram post hints at this new setting. The ad starts with a charming Japanese lucky cat, known as maneki-neko, which symbolizes good fortune. As a butterfly flutters by, it reveals the word レジェンド, translating to “Legend.” The scene then shifts to a breathtaking Japanese landscape with the iconic Mt. Fuji in the background, complemented by the sound of a revving engine.
