Forza Horizon 6 continues its journey through Japan with Kyushu, deepening its connection to car culture

The Art of Driving series for Forza Horizon 6 continues to expand its cultural horizon with a second episode, this time setting course for Kyushu, one of Japan’s most diverse and scenic regions. Following our first look at Tohoku, this latest installment reinforces the idea that this game isn't just about the driving—it’s about the context behind it.

In this chapter, the journey unfolds behind the wheel of a Honda Civic Type R, a modern icon of Japanese automotive excellence. Accompanied by Larry Chen and local expert Kazuhisa Uragami, the choice of vehicle is intentional: it represents the evolution of Japanese engineering and the perfect balance between performance and accessibility.

Kyushu provides a striking contrast to other regions. Its roads, landscapes, and local traditions offer an environment where driving transcends speed, becoming an experience of discovery. Every stretch of asphalt tells a story; every hairpin turn has a purpose.

This approach solidifies one of the game's core ambitions: integrating authentic car culture into its open world. It isn't just recreating Japan—they are capturing its essence through its cars, its roads, and its people.

Beyond the visuals, these deep dives serve as the perfect prelude to the actual gameplay. They allow players to understand the history and context before ever touching the steering wheel, heightening immersion and giving meaning to every drive within the game.

With Kyushu as the latest showcase, Forza Horizon 6 continues to build an experience where driving is synonymous with exploration.

The question has shifted: when you finally have all of Japan before you, will you hunt for the perfect line in every corner... or will you let the journey take you where it may?
