The first Horizon game launched in 2012 and was followed by Forza Horizon 2 in 2014, marking the series debut on Xbox One. Playground Studios developed each entry in the popular Forza Horizon series, a more casual racing experience built on the Forza engine.

Turn 10 delivered Forza Motorsport 5 in 2013 as the first game in the series to appear on the Xbox One console, then followed it up with Forza Motorsport 6 in 2015, released the series debut on PC with Forza: Apex in 2016, and finally put out Forza Motorsport 7 for both console and PC in 2017. Going all the way back to 2011 with the release of Forza Motorsport 4, neither Turn 10 Studios or partner Playground games have released a mainline Forza title during the holiday season each year. Where was Forza Motorsport 8 at the Xbox E3 2019 Brefing?

Following its last release in 2017 with Forza Motorsport 7, fans and press were expecting to see some news or announcement of the newest entry in the series during the show, but it seems that there will be no new Forza game in 2019 - aside from the re-skinned Forza Street, anyway. One such game that was missing in action was the newest edition of Turn 10 Studios’ Forza Motorsport. There is also the free-to-play Forza Street, which launched earlier this year.Among the rapid-fire announcements and game debuts during Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2019 press event, it might have been easy to miss some absences from the usual lineup we get each year at E3. In the meantime, Forza fans will have to make do with the newly-announced Lego Speed Champions expansion for Horizon 4, which launches later this week. Halo Infinite was last night announced as a launch title, and a mainline Forza entry would likely be positioned as key pillar of the early line-up, as Forza Motorsport 4 was for the Xbox One. It's also more than likely that an extra year's breathing room will allow Turn 10 to spend more time getting Forza Motorsport 8 ready for Xbox's next generation console - codenamed Project Scarlet - which is due by Christmas 2020. Spin-off series Forza Horizon has also been shifting towards a community focus, with Forza Horizon 4 marking the first time the series has been run as a live service, updating every four weeks - although, as Playground recently told us, this is being achieved without crunch. "We're taking this fan-first, player-first approach where we're bringing players in in different capacities to have them help us ideate on what we build next, and prototype new ideas and new thoughts." The developer has also been focusing on growing the community around the game, with Greenawalt adding that while Turn 10 is starting to focus on its next project, it is "doing it all very, very differently." Greenawalt observed that his studio has been supporting Forza Motorsport 7 "for longer than we ever have before", with updates and new content added as recently as last month - almost two years after the game's launch. "It's just something we're currently building." "As of right now, Motorsport itself is actually in concept," creative director Dan Greenawalt told the site. The franchise has been an annual pillar of Microsoft's line-up since 2011's Forza Motorsport 4, after which the Motorsport titles alternated every year with Playground Games' Forza Horizon series.īut the expected Forza Motorsport 8 was nowhere to be seen at last night's Xbox E3 press conference and Turn 10 Studios confirmed to IGN that it won't be announced any time soon. There will be no new Forza Motorsport title this year, the series' developer has confirmed.
