I like the idea for Japan, great of the tōge racing on the mountain passes. Maybe even explore Fu’ushima’s exclusion zone.
I like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland. I also prefer Scandinavia
Sometime they should make a Horizon game that takes place in Vancouver, BC or Toronto, ON. I prefer Toronto because you could race on Highway 401. Drive around the beautiful city, look at Lake Ontario, and see Niagara-on-the-Lake & the Falls.

The Vancouver area in British Columbia would be cool.

Anywhere in Canada would be great for Horizon 5. Vancouver, Toronto, or any major city would be great. A Horizon game based in the Vancouver area will have a great winter time, and miles of off road track on Vancouver Island.

Its in the Horizon 2 Developer Diaries- Building a World, its on YouTube. They talk about it when they explain why they went to Europe, instead of California like everyone was expecting them to.
So hear me out this might not be the best place but its something what if FH5 takes place in Georgia not the country but the state here in the U.S. Think about it Georgia has big cities rural places for rally or crss coutry events Atalanta would be a great place for the street scene. Down even more south near the Georga Florida border there could be a new event like a monster truck area place or mud bogging. Also that race track here in Atlanta could be included it would be fantastic.
I want forza horizon 5 to take place in an around the world event
I want it to take place in Dubai.
Really I think Nevada there’s city desert and they should put in Las Vegas strip
While most of us want to see a Forza Horizon in Asia, have we given consideration to the fact that Asia is the largest continent in the world? Instead of Japan there is a greater possibility that the game could land on the shores of Northern India and other surrounding regions such as Nepal based on the the road-tripping concept of FH2.
I want Horizon 5 to take place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It’s my hometown and would be great to see in a game!
new zealand pakistan australia (melbourne) and russia
A lot of people want the next game to take place in Japan
While it sounds super fun, Horizon games have been increasingly emphasizing openness and exploration; with Japan being a super mountainous country full of cities and the like, there is not much there waiting for the next Forza Horizon game
Instead, I’d rather have it be in South Korea. Its geography is better than Japan and on the west coast there is a good mixture of wetlands, mountains, beaches, and cities.

I wrote this almost a year or so ago, but I think California would be the best location even though it has been done by other racing games. If the map size wasn’t as limited as it is with current gen xboxs then a map of massive scale of California containing all of this below would cater to a majority of the fanbase. California also has a major car culture.
Location/Map:
First off I would like to suggest the festival take place in California for a number of great reasons. Again you could already have the location set in stone but I’d still like to let you know. Many (racing) games have taken place in California because it is so diverse and has so many environments that the community has been wanting. So first off you could try and make a huge city area like LA or San Diego or San Francisco that is almost 4x as big as Surfer’s Paradise. Surfer’s Paradise was really well made and really cool but honestly it did feel a little small so it would be cool to have a huge city. There could be a highway that goes into the city and also goes to the mountains where it turns into a steep winding mountain road. I have gone through the forums and I know this is a really big desire of the community because at this point it is has been mostly big large open roads with little to no incline or elevation gain. The roads in FH3 were beautiful but there was no narrow paved mountain roads and only a couple small hills most of them not paved. This mountain road/highway could lead into the mountains where they could drive through the forest maybe even Redwoods and could drive around a lake or something. There could also be some nice off road races in that area too. Going back to the highway it could branch into another highway which travels through the mountains to the high desert where players could also have lots of off roading. Not only that there could be long desert roads like those in FH3. This would meet both of the needs of the community that want those variety of streets to drive/drift or whatever they do on them. Also it would be nice to have a longer coastal highway such the Pacific Coastal Highway which could lead to some smaller beach towns like Laguna beach. Also the highway could have exits into the suburbs before the mountains which are more like the residential neighborhoods of Surfer’s Paradise or real life cities like Glendora or Pasadena. There would also be lots of beach to drive on and maybe there could even be a pier like Santa Monica pier which you can actually drive on in real life and a marina with boats somewhere along the coast.
Details on the Map:
This section goes into more detail of the map and also a little bit of customization wishes. In the large city I know everybody would love a parking garage with 3+ levels to park in and drive in. Also you could have a central boulevard with palm trees in the middle and shops down it like in Surfer’s Paradise but quite a bit longer almost like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Also it would be cool to have lots of skyscrapers in this city and tall apartment buildings like in SF( abbreviation of Surfer’s Paradise) but almost 2 to 3x as many. There could also be a boardwalk with lots of parking lots by the beach in the large city and small coastal towns for the players to take nice photos and hang out with friends. Also in the city it would be nice to have lots of intersections with stoplights( Don’t know if this is possible but other games have done it) and alleys between buildings. With the houses there could be the large apartment complexes in the city and as you move into the suburbs smaller houses like those of the outskirts of SF. Close to the coast and in the mountains there could be larger houses( Beach and Mountain mansions). Diving into some hopes for customization and such it would be cool if these houses had 3-4 garages and you could pick a house to own and could keep 3 to 4 of your favorite cars there and have it the color that you want. In FH3 the festival’s spread throughout the map are the one stop shop for buying, upgrading, painting, and auctioning cars. It would add such a cool realistic part to the game if these were separate from the festival. Car dealerships could be spread throughout the map and could have glass windows that showed the cars trending at the time and players could go there to buy the cars they want. I wasn’t sure about the auction houses but they could also be a part of the car dealerships or be separate buildings unto themselves. To upgrade your car you could drive to little mechanic shops spread throughout the map. To paint your car you could also go to these mechanic shops or the bodyshops could be separate buildings. Maybe one mechanic shop could be specific for a character like Warren but in California where you could see the progress on the barn finds and pick them up and have him do special things for your car. The festival’s would still be there but they would be one building with a carnival around it and you could find races there and go there to expand but it wouldn’t serve as the huge one stop shop for everything anymore to make it realistic.
I would like to see this take place in Japan. The cars and the culture there is like no other Countryside or City

It’s been two festivals in a row of driving on the left side of the road, that’s 4 years! Bring the next one back to a country that drives on the proper side of the road. ;D
I would love to have forza horizon 5 to get another shot at america but bring trailers and trucks into the game to pull some of our cars for roll play.
I think they should try and do a map of the entire U.S. I know FH1 did it, but 5 is a somewhat special number, and here in America the car culture and scenery are incredibly rich. Just imagine taking “the great American roadtrip” down route 66, or street racing in L.A. or sight seeing in NY! The sattelite images already exist! Additionally, I think the mods on cars should reflect the real world, we need more than the run of the mill 6.2 V8, 8.4 10, and 6.5 V12. plus, since car culture is a very visual community, would more body mods hurt? There should be more personalization for the JDM cars, more chop tops for hot rods, and pro mods for proper drag cars. People were able to do this stuff in FH3’s dev mods, why not be able to at least delete hoods etc. in the real game? As for the usual expansions? Well the U.S. has 2- a snowy expansion and an island expansion, just use Alaska and Hawaii! I really hope they do something like this. Any thoughts?
I want it to be posted in the hole entire world or united states of America
My friend’s response is Japan
How about shorline or bothell? theres many high ways and curves1
