Playground Games is taking inspiration from one of the most beloved racing anime of all time for the next installment of its open-world racing series. Forza Horizon 6 will pull heavily from Initial D, the classic series known for its intense downhill drift battles and focus on car culture.
The game is expected to feature a world that captures the adrenaline and technical driving seen in the anime, with winding mountain roads, nighttime races, and a deeper emphasis on car tuning and driving technique. While details remain scarce, early reports suggest that the studio is aiming to recreate the immersive feel of Initial D's underground racing scene.
Fans of the series have long called for a game that channels the anime's atmosphere, and Forza Horizon 6 appears poised to deliver just that. The title is rumored to launch next year, with more announcements expected soon.
