New Forza Horizon 6 Details Revealed in Developer Q&A
Playground Games design director Torben Ellert has answered an assortment of questions about next month’s Forza Horizon 6 in a community-oriented Q&A hosted on the official Forza Discord server.
The questions covered a broad range of topics, from the new touge battles to multiplayer elements. Touge battles are one-on-one events at five preset mountain passes around the map.
Touge Battles and Multiplayer Elements
In single-player mode, each touge battle has a specific opponent who you’ll find parked near the start of the route. Touge battles are not linked to festival progression, and we’ll be able to race them at any time while in single player.
There will also be an online championship, which will effectively be a constant supply of one-on-one battles, rotating around the five routes.
Festival Playlist and Car Availability
The Festival Playlist will be available as soon as you earn your way into the Horizon Festival (which should only take around an hour from the start), but it’s been confirmed that cars from elapsed Festival Playlists will be made available after the fact.
For clarity, Forza Horizon 5’s Festival Playlist system added new, free cars to the game every week since the game’s Xbox and PC launch in November 2021 but, while the cars were free, they were admittedly only initially available for a limited time.
