While honoring racing heritage is standard for the series, the real showstopper was the final teaser. The footage showed a car parked on a weathered, cracked asphalt road before the camera pulled back to reveal the massive mechanical feet of a colossal robot advancing from behind. It’s an escalation of the series’ signature Showcase events, which traditionally pit cars against planes, trains, or motocross teams.
The big question remains whether this is an officially licensed Gundam. The silhouette and leg design share DNA with various mechs from the franchise, though some unique details—like integrated wheels on the feet—suggest it might be a custom creation inspired by the genre. Regardless, it signals that Forza Horizon 6 is embracing Japan’s vibrant pop culture alongside its automotive history.
The Forza Horizon series has always thrived on a sense of wonder and freedom, and this sixth installment seems to be doubling down on that philosophy. As Playground Games puts it: “It’s all about the joy of driving wherever you want and truly exploring.” With such high-profile anime references already appearing in the marketing, players are left wondering what other surprises wait in the full version of the game.
