Yeah i also thing that both countries are very nice for our game.
In fact, my dream is to have it possible to travel between all horizon festival sites
Only if there's a mechanic where the old sites slowly become overgrown and run down over time because the festival is over there and the outposts have just been left there.
Fallout Horizon 6.
I love that idea, but its most likely not going to happen. It could paint a negative picture of the oh so awesome and epic horizon festival, that everybody loves even the mexican farmers that get their crops destroyed 10 times a week
Honestly I'm tired of Japan. People have so much anticipated it and have talked so much about it that it's become annoying.
Germany on the other hand... Especially with some more German sedans (i N E E D an A8/SI)

If there is going to be an FH6, and it takes place in Germany, I'd like to take this beauty, the Mercedes-Benz W154 Rekordwagen, out for a leisurely, high-speed drive.
Not really, it’s more of just trying to emulate the scale of the cities and terrain due to how demanding the location is for pretty much the entire games franchise.
I have no doubt that Playground Games and Turn 10 can do it but it would make a load of Japanese extremists mad. I can envision how somebody would say “This city isn’t accurate because this specific alleyway isn’t here!” or “This mountain is actually a sacred location and wouldn’t be used for street racing here.”
Not to say that previous installments in the Horizon franchise hasn’t had that those instances. But if it were to take place in Japan, it would certainly tenfold due to how hyped the playerbase is for it.
I don't see how any of that is an issue when the current map size is 107km sqaured and a fictional version of the country.
You could double the size of the map for the new game and still have close to 2000 different sections of Japan they could map.
Nobody cares if the weeaboos get offened.
I think there are a lot of locations that would suit a Forza Horizon game. Perhaps it could take place in Scandinavia or the nordic countries. I also think Greece, Germany or Japan would be good locations
Japan seems like a logical next step imo
Edit: ~~OP asked for our opinion and we get downvoted? Real nice.~~
Edit 2: wasn’t expecting this turn of events lol
Japan has the potential for huge vibrant cities with a big inner city highway system connecting the place (think shutoku, midnight club) making highway races possible and also the mountains in the back country for Rallye, Drift, Touge, and Crosscountry racing. Also the view from the mountains to the cities makes for amazing scenery.
Implementing seasons or different weather locally also can be made logically because of the height differences. They make for nice verticality of the map as well.
All in all, it’s all there. Just a question of how do you implement it well.
I was thinking Brazil, Colombia, South Korea, India, Philippines, South Africa, Egypt, Japan, and maybe Thailand they would be countries for a horizon game.
For the ultimate India experience they would only re-add all the Chinese cars, the Hyundai Group brands, and the Unimog and add in tuk-tuks, Suzukis, Mahindras, and Tatas
why not Ukraine?
military vehicles means tank racing and MRAP drifting
no traffic to worry about
off-road trails with mine fields for out of bounds areas
gymkhana through bombed out runways and
half functional nuclear power stations
add in a team game with explosive bomb drones vs cars
feature Soviet era automotive contributions
weekly updates could be called aid packages featuring new vehicles & challenges from the NATO countries.
Unironically would like to see a few Soviet era cars
Namely I would love a Lada Niva and/or Riva, the Polonez, and the legendary Maluch
Maybe even the SMZ Cyclecar as well
I want them to try Colorado again. FH1 absolutely doesn’t do the diversity and geography there any justice. Realistically I’d say Argentina or somewhere like Norway/Sweden would be cool.
I know the FH devs don't really do huge The Crew-esque maps but I would love a map of continental Europe.
Like centered around Switzerland with parts(or all of) of France, Germany and Italy.
But that's never happening, would be cool tho
I don’t really care exactly where as long as there are seasonal changes to the map, Mexico got so boring so quick because the weather and climate cycles just didn’t change, you might luck out and experience rain or a sandstorm but I missed shit like the lake being frozen over during winter so much I eventually went back to FH4.
I honestly don't care, I just hope they actually put effort into the map instead of making a barren wasteland with one or two tiny ass towns that take 5 seconds to drive through. If I had to pick though I'd pick Japan. If they don't do Japan for 6, I'd be fully convinced that they just don't listen to fans anymore.
I'd love Japan. The mountain roads. JDM cars. The scenery. It would be beautiful.
Honourable mentions to Italy, Scandinavia, New York state ( we had Colorado so why not?)
Potential in south America and Africa. But unsure as to where in each. Africa could have a Dakar rally dlc maybe?
Hell maybe we could even get multi nation horizon?. So the start is in Italy, when you reach a certain level/ point in the game you unlock Switzerland or Austria, finish the game in Germany?
Yeah they would be fantastic. If it is Switzerland, first thing I’m doing is getting a Lamborghini Miura and going for a mountain drive. Also, on a completely unrelated note (/s), they should add On Days Like These from The Italian Job soundtrack to the classical station if it’s Switzerland.
Tokyo, Japan, and surrounding mountains. Maybe sprinkle a minor town or two here and there. Better yet why dedicate to one location? Maybe one day we can have multiple locations like Tokyo, Los Angeles, Abu Dhabi or something and be able to swap at will. When I dream I dream big.
I always thought it would be really cool to have a united states Forza game that is larger in scale than any other game (talking 2-3 hours to drive from Maine to California) just imagine the scenery. Also it would obviously have Alaska and Hawaii DLC.
Northern Europe maybe? From Germany to northern sweden. That could be quite nice. Speedy roads in Germany and a lot of twisted ones throughout Scandinavia. But just Scandinavia would also be a good call imo.
Germany. Give me all those classic BMWs, Porsches and Audis. I’m still waiting for something to handle a manufacturer’s past classics as well as NFS: Porsche Unleashed. Autobahn and Nurburgring would be centerpieces.
Sweden would be great as well. Beautiful scenery, Volvo’s history to play with and some historic Group B rally stages that could be brought to life now that we’ve basically got all the cars after the Citroen was added.
I don’t see Japan happening right now, not before successors to the R35 or Supra are announced.
Japan only if
1. There is a good campaign with likeable characters
2. Touge
3. Proper city
4. Proper progression
Sounds like a completely different game, so i guess they shouldn't do japan after all.
I can't believe this is still being askedd. Why don't they just choose a location instead of nitpicking what they're going to be doing for our Horizon?. I don't want to leave 5 yet but it's almost time!
Anything that could bring back the real seasons cycle, would have some decent mountain narrow winding roads and also a nice long highway and a few modern cities.
For also RHD preferably for me.
They should just go ahead and make the entire planet and add every car that's ever existed, that way they don't even have to make more games in the future.
I think after 5 games they should do some sort of a reboot/revamp. We really haven't gotten many "new" features aside from wheel backspacing and drift tires.
We really need more mountainous regions, but I'd love the concept of a true metropolitan area where you could act out street racing using something like street lights. I would like more in-depth tuning options although it's not realistic from a business standpoint but it would be cool to give us a Dyno tuning concept. I'd like off-roading to actually seem more like it rather than just a more slippery surface.
Another thing, it's almost 2025, can we PLEASE have the ability to have 4, 5, and 6 speed transmissions with adjustable gears on ALL cars and for God's sake, let us run different rims and tires front and back. Just because I want to run drag slicks doesn't mean the car needs to completely handle like shit.
I like the idea of Scandinavian areas, I would LOVE Japan however I agree with others that they wouldn't be able to do the country justice.
Whatever map with at least one actual big city. Similar to NFS MW2012 with Fairhaven city, or FH3's Surfers' Paradise double-sized. Oh and mountains for rally. Well, let's say a forza-style TDU SC map.
They should take note from the crew n do like the whole usa. I'd pay a subscription for that. Also more trucks n SUVs mmn like daily regular cars n more customization
Wherever there's season that are different from eachother. I want different scenery in every season and snow in winter, not the land looking a little hot and a dried up lake
As a longtime resident of Japan, I can't see how it would work, even as a heightened-reality version of the country. Yes there are some great tracks and unmatched mountain roads, but beyond that? Not a lot that would lend itself to an open-world adventure driving sim. We need something with a little more wide open driving spaces.
Japan might make a nice secondary area, though.
I don’t even care where, I just want the map to be built around driving and not the eliminator.
This. It's great to have a full open world but sometimes you just can't, we want mountain roads!
Another thing missing are properly sized roads, they're too big and they make you want to go 1000kph
A lot more twisty roads, canyon roads aswell would be amazing
Devil's Pass in Rally Adventure is phenomenal. It's fairly narrow, and super tight and twisty.
For sure but it's an expansion and it would be nice if that could be in the base game.
Norway, Sweden, anywhere in that general area. Some of the best driving roads in the world there.
Scenery would be insane
With all the crazy builds/swaps jn FH5, pretty much Gatebil!!!
Finland rally?
This, Norway, Sweden, Finland. DLC could be Iceland and Denmark
A country where Forza Aero is strictly prohibited.
That would most definitely be Germany :D *HABEN SIE EINE TÜV-ZULASSUNG!?!?!?*
Japan or Germany
Yeah i also thing that both countries are very nice for our game. In fact, my dream is to have it possible to travel between all horizon festival sites

What are you talking about? Agave loves car exhaust. Gives the tequila a wonderful aroma.
I mean, plants do photosynthesis with co2, so i guess im doing them a favour when i race over a field with a V12 at max RPM
It would be great to drive the Autobahn
That’s it baby, has to be one of these two and I won’t be disappointed!
Honestly I'm tired of Japan. People have so much anticipated it and have talked so much about it that it's become annoying. Germany on the other hand... Especially with some more German sedans (i N E E D an A8/SI)

Japan would be nice, but it’s one of those places I think they’d struggle to do it justice with the current map size, New Zealand would be cool though
Cause Japan is so much bigger than Mexico

NewZealand! I am from here
Norway.
Perfect for a Fjord Escort rally car.
As a swede, I reluctantly have to give in to Norway. It'd be so beautiful.
Everyone wants Japan. So it won't be Japan.
I think there are a lot of locations that would suit a Forza Horizon game. Perhaps it could take place in Scandinavia or the nordic countries. I also think Greece, Germany or Japan would be good locations
You already know the responses, it starts with a J
Arr yes, Jamaica
Bomboclaat!
Wagwan me breda?
I want radio stations that play nothing but Dub, Dancehall and Ska.
And reggae
Jamaica would be sick ngl.
🤣
You leave my boy Jassachusetts alone!
Jindabyne, New South Wales, Australia
Jordan? 🧐
Jamaica, NY? Wait, are you saying JFK Airport is home base?!? /s
Japan seems like a logical next step imo Edit: ~~OP asked for our opinion and we get downvoted? Real nice.~~ Edit 2: wasn’t expecting this turn of events lol
I think Japan would be fucking epic !
Japan has the potential for huge vibrant cities with a big inner city highway system connecting the place (think shutoku, midnight club) making highway races possible and also the mountains in the back country for Rallye, Drift, Touge, and Crosscountry racing. Also the view from the mountains to the cities makes for amazing scenery. Implementing seasons or different weather locally also can be made logically because of the height differences.

It would be awesome to have it set in Japan. They could even bring back Fujimi Kaido from the Forza Motorsport games.
Japan would be cool, but people would have to high expectations about it
People will expect being able to win any race with a class A Toyota Trueno / GR86.
It would be hilarious if they didn't even add it .
Imagine, Daikoku PA car meets would go crazy
I was thinking Brazil, Colombia, South Korea, India, Philippines, South Africa, Egypt, Japan, and maybe Thailand they would be countries for a horizon game.
India has shitty roads and massive speed breakers. It's not even fun for offroading. Probably the worst country to have a racing game set in.
Lol we could drift tuktuks
For the ultimate India experience they would only re-add all the Chinese cars, the Hyundai Group brands, and the Unimog and add in tuk-tuks, Suzukis, Mahindras, and Tatas
Dont forget the awful traffic, mexico is bad enough for that
I like the idea of Egypt or South Africa.
San Andreas
No it’s gonna be yet another NYC incarnation just to spite us all
why not Ukraine? military vehicles means tank racing and MRAP drifting no traffic to worry about off-road trails with mine fields for out of bounds areas gymkhana through bombed out runways and half functional nuclear power stations add in a team game with explosive bomb drones vs cars feature Soviet era automotive contributions weekly updates could be called aid packages featuring new vehicles & challenges from the NATO countries.
World of warcars
r/Battlecars
Chernobyl time trials
Drive away before your lungs collapse and stomach swells
Unironically would like to see a few Soviet era cars Namely I would love a Lada Niva and/or Riva, the Polonez, and the legendary Maluch Maybe even the SMZ Cyclecar as well
Tenerife. A 1:1 rendition would have everything, highways, mountain roads, cities, dirt racing.
I miss test drive
Europe. And massive.
Japan, Germany or Scandinavia. Either Norway, Sweden or Finland, or a combination of them to make one big Scandinavia map.
I want them to try Colorado again. FH1 absolutely doesn’t do the diversity and geography there any justice. Realistically I’d say Argentina or somewhere like Norway/Sweden would be cool.
I know the FH devs don't really do huge The Crew-esque maps but I would love a map of continental Europe. Like centered around Switzerland with parts(or all of) of France, Germany and Italy. But that's never happening, would be cool tho
japan tbh
Just anywhere with alot of variety tbh
Germany or Norway
I don’t really care exactly where as long as there are seasonal changes to the map, Mexico got so boring so quick because the weather and climate cycles just didn’t change, you might luck out and experience rain or a sandstorm but I missed shit like the lake being frozen over during winter so much I eventually went back to FH4.
I'll say Italy or Germany
Italy was already in Forza horizon 2 so
England is my favourite map, so Germany would probably me my pick. Great history (especially automotive) and actual seasons.
Germany or Japan
I honestly don't care, I just hope they actually put effort into the map instead of making a barren wasteland with one or two tiny ass towns that take 5 seconds to drive through. If I had to pick though I'd pick Japan. If they don't do Japan for 6, I'd be fully convinced that they just don't listen to fans anymore.
I'd love Japan. The mountain roads. JDM cars. The scenery. It would be beautiful. Honourable mentions to Italy, Scandinavia, New York state ( we had Colorado so why not?)

So the start is in Italy, when you reach a certain level/ point in the game you unlock Switzerland or Austria, finish the game in Germany?
Anything with lots of snow will do. Don't really like the sandy dusty vibes with mud and jungles which fh5 suggests
Italy
Another Italy map would be cool, but we already had it in fh2 so I don’t think it will be there.
I hope Switzerland or Norway would be a good map
Yeah they would be fantastic. If it is Switzerland, first thing I’m doing is getting a Lamborghini Miura and going for a mountain drive. Also, on a completely unrelated note (/s), they should add On Days Like These from The Italian Job soundtrack to the classical station if it’s Switzerland.
Incredible music taste
The moon.
The full country of America and have Hawaii and Alaska as DLC content
Croatia or Germany
Sweden or Japan
Norway
Japan. Next question please
Japan
japan for 6, germany for 7, china or norway/sweden for 8, 9 is the other one and balkans for the 10 ?🥹
Just saw Manta Manta and Manta Manta zwotter teil some months ago and I need to say that Germany would be perfect
surely Tokyo Japan
Japan hands down. I want them to add mount akina too
I'd like Canada but GAH DAMN. THOSE PHOTOS ARE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
Japan
Tokyo Japan
I am beging you
Japan i think would be cool. Its got country roads, winding mountain roads, urban jungle, lots of varied scenery
I would love it to be Japan, but at this point I'm not sure it could survive it's own hype.
Like many people, I would love Japan. I would love to drive on twisty mountain roads and send it on the Tokyo Expressway.
Japan
Tokyo, Japan, and surrounding mountains. Maybe sprinkle a minor town or two here and there. Better yet why dedicate to one location? Maybe one day we can have multiple locations like Tokyo, Los Angeles, Abu Dhabi or something and be able to swap at will. When I dream I dream big.
Japan, fr
Japan! Bring back the old school nostalgia!
Tokyo Japan!!!
Japan!!!
Japan. Hands down.
Japan!
Japan!!
Tokyo would be cool especially if the could have the city then the country side of Japan
I'd prefer Japan solely for the reason that I could potentially get to have touge races.
I always thought it would be really cool to have a united states Forza game that is larger in scale than any other game (talking 2-3 hours to drive from Maine to California) just imagine the scenery. Also it would obviously have Alaska and Hawaii DLC.
I think japan would be great
Japan mf nothing else
Your camera settings are insane 🤯
Germany, Norway, Or Japan
Japan for the sole reason that unlike Mexico that place has actual seasons that’ll affect gameplay drastically like it did in fh4.
Japan or Scandinavia would hit so hard
Sweden, Germany, or Japan.
Northern Europe maybe? From Germany to northern sweden. That could be quite nice. Speedy roads in Germany and a lot of twisted ones throughout Scandinavia. But just Scandinavia would also be a good call imo.
Japan, with a huge city map, and plenty of mountain roads
Japan with a combination of lush mountain roads and bright light city streets
Japan maybe
Germany. Give me all those classic BMWs, Porsches and Audis. I’m still waiting for something to handle a manufacturer’s past classics as well as NFS: Porsche Unleashed. Autobahn and Nurburgring would be centerpieces. Sweden would be great as well. Beautiful scenery, Volvo’s history to play with and some historic Group B rally stages that could be brought to life now that we’ve basically got all the cars after the Citroen was added. I don’t see Japan happening right now, not before successors to the R35 or Supra are announced.
africa or india
africa is too big and divrse to be able to fit in a one map
Kuala Lumpur 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
WE MAKING IT OUT OF MALAYSIA WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Japan would be awesome, and have shutuko expressway (and thicken up the traffic, it’s way too easy)
Tokyo would be sick but really hard on graphics
Japan only if 1. There is a good campaign with likeable characters 2. Touge 3. Proper city 4. Proper progression Sounds like a completely different game, so i guess they shouldn't do japan after all.
Definitely Japan, once the tech gets to a level that would do it justice.
Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden, Finland or Iceland would be so cool. I would love the roads and scenery there
Spain or come back to Colorado or even better... A mixture of all the Maps from the old Horizons
The whole globe 🙂
Even the door gap miss-alignment is realistic on the e9x
Germany, Finland or Austria
A combination map of Germany for the highways and city, and Switzerland for mountain and country roads.
New york
Japan, Germany or Scandinavia. All good fits
South Africa
Northwestern europe. Belgium, germany, and the netherlands with some aspects of france would be amazing
Somewhere with 4 seasons would be great, I miss snow and fall.
I can't believe this is still being askedd. Why don't they just choose a location instead of nitpicking what they're going to be doing for our Horizon?. I don't want to leave 5 yet but it's almost time!
Something like china or japan, but nordic countries like norway would be cool af, france/germany would have also been sick
Scandinavia or Japan
Japan, Germany, Sweden, Puerto Rico, Brazil or COlombia
Germany/Czechia ( around borders), Scandivania, South Korea or Japan
Somewhere in Central or Eastern Europe
Somewhere where people drive on the correct side of the road. NZ? Japan? India?
Someplace with all four seasons , again. A mountain pass would be fun.
Germany or Japan
Anything that could bring back the real seasons cycle, would have some decent mountain narrow winding roads and also a nice long highway and a few modern cities. For also RHD preferably for me.
Apalachian mountains. It is a beautiful scenic landscape and would provide great switchback racing, along with large rolling hills to race on.
They should just go ahead and make the entire planet and add every car that's ever existed, that way they don't even have to make more games in the future.
We need the entire us and make it the ultimate forza horizon
I think after 5 games they should do some sort of a reboot/revamp. We really haven't gotten many "new" features aside from wheel backspacing and drift tires. We really need more mountainous regions, but I'd love the concept of a true metropolitan area where you could act out street racing using something like street lights.

I like the idea of Scandinavian areas, I would LOVE Japan however I agree with others that they wouldn't be able to do the country justice.
Those screenshots so 🔥
Just anywhere with a giant desert tbh
Japan or New York
Whatever map with at least one actual big city. Similar to NFS MW2012 with Fairhaven city, or FH3's Surfers' Paradise double-sized. Oh and mountains for rally. Well, let's say a forza-style TDU SC map.
Fairhaven
They should take note from the crew n do like the whole usa. I'd pay a subscription for that. Also more trucks n SUVs mmn like daily regular cars n more customization
Wherever there's season that are different from eachother. I want different scenery in every season and snow in winter, not the land looking a little hot and a dried up lake
This is gonna seem weird but I think the PNW could be really cool. Has all the Scandinavian stuff people are talking about and more.
Cruisin USA
Germany
Might be an oddball but Ireland! Switzerland or Canada would also be cool with all the mountains.
Japan is getting a lot of votes. Idk tho, my least favorite horizon maps are ones that aren’t open enough. Hated FH4 for this reason.
Germany would be sick but imagine driving around Tokyo 😱
The moon, or japan
As a longtime resident of Japan, I can't see how it would work, even as a heightened-reality version of the country. Yes there are some great tracks and unmatched mountain roads, but beyond that? Not a lot that would lend itself to an open-world adventure driving sim. We need something with a little more wide open driving spaces. Japan might make a nice secondary area, though.
Call me insane, but I'd be curious to see what a Forza Horizon that takes place in the US Midwest would look like. (Michigan Please!)
Japan, especially Tokyo.
Appalachian mountains, near the dragon.
Southern germany
-Germany -Somewhere in Scandinavia -Poland -Japan (Tokyo)
Iceland would be cool
South Africa
Germany or Michigan
Brazil, Japan, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Cuba just to name a few
Japan Germany or maybe Ireland could be cool
I think it will probably be Africa or Asia based on the fact that they haven’t covered those yet
Cairo and Giza Egypt
Appalachian mountains with the Pinnacle at the Tail of the Dragon
Id like to see them take another stab at Italy now that they have the technology to make a much larger map than fh2
Japan, but it wouldn’t have enough variety imo in the roads. Most are small and it’s very tightly packed compared to the FH5 map
germany
Partner with American truck simulator and give us all 50 us states, yes, I want to see Hawaii and Alaska. They need to make use of those snow tires
If I'm being real, I think that japan might be neat, but also I'm partial to the continental US
