Forza Motorsport can be aimed at launching in October
Forza Motorsport is certainly one of the most anticipated games in the upcoming Microsoft line. Six years have passed since the release of the last part of a series of racing simulators, which significantly exceeds the time between any previous releases.
After the relatively disappointing launch of Forza Motorsport 7 (aggravated fiasco with lutboxes) Turn 10 Studios decided to not rush and enable communities reviews about the concept of the next game.
After the announcement of the game at the Xbox Games Showcase 2020 exhibition, creative director Chris Esami emphasized the intention of Turn 10 to return to the origins of the franchise, as evidenced by the choice of the name.
In June 2021, Esaki said that the new Forza Motorsport underwent more physical improvements than was done in parts from the fourth to seventh, which made it, of course, the biggest jump in the accuracy of modeling.
At last year’s exhibition, Xbox Game Showcase Turn 10 introduced the first frames of the gameplay. He also confirmed the largest new functions, such as dynamic time of day and weather for each track (in combination with changes in the temperature of the track that affect the clutch of the car), 48-fold more detailed physical modeling, tire control and fuel, deep tuning of the car, and Extremely accurate damage to the car body (up to individual scratches) and trace of rays in real time. The developer also promised the launch window in the spring of 2023, but this did not happen. On the Xbox Direct in January of this year, Forza Motorsport moved to the total window of 2023, although the fans received confirmation that the racing game will include more than 500 cars and 20 different media for racing.
Earlier this month, Microsoft seemed to hint at the summer launch, but the Xbox MrmattyPlays insider said Defining Duke yesterday’s release: An Xbox Podcast, which I heard rumors about the release in October.
This is not the first time that the game Forza Motorsport is launched in October. This has already happened with the seventh part, not to mention the fourth and third. In addition, September will completely remain for Starfield from Bethesda, while Xbox fans also hope to get Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 in November.
Nevertheless, we must relate to this with a large share of skepticism until more reliable confirmation appears. In any case, before the Xbox Games Showcase 2023 there are less than a month left, and Microsoft will definitely announce the final release date there.
Forza Motorsport will be released on PC and Xbox Series S | X and will be available to Game Pass subscribers on the first day.
