It is an exciting time for Forza Motorsport, as the Microsoft racing sim franchise is preparing for a restart and its first version on the generation of Xbox Series X and S consoles. In 2021, developer Turn 10 Studios revealed on Wednesday that it will soon offer a “part” of the future project to play testers in its Forza panel.
To check it out for yourself, you’ll need to sign up for the Tower 10 feedback panel. Registration is quick and can be done in minutes using this basic survey, although it is not clear when the invitations will be issued. The official Forza Motorsport Twitter initially stated that participants have already started receiving invitations, although clarified later this had not actually happened, and the players had a chance “soon”.
At the age of 10, creative director Chris Esaki unveiled the initiative during a Forza Monthly stream. Esaki says Tower 10 conducted weekly game tests at Xbox Game Studios, but now thinks it’s the right time to extend this to the community:
“The new news today is that we will soon be able to share it with our people in our Forza panel. In fact, they will be able to get their hands on some of our new Forza Motorsport game. So if you’re part of the Forza panel – we strongly recommend that if you’re not already in the Forza panel – the only way to get your hands on this side of the new Forza Motorsport the title is to be part of that panel.
“We will continue to plan this type of testing as we go in the coming months and bring more and more people from the community and enjoy this experience. So, once again, go into those Forza panels and you will actually be able to check the new or part of it again, Forza Motorsport. ”
G / O Media may receive a commission
Esaki says the development approach of Tower 10 with this future entry is unlike anything the team has done before. It is not clear outside why; of course, I only saw one short trailer in the engine of the title so far dating back to last summer.
At the same time, Dan Greenawalt, the main creative force behind the franchise, published a blog talking primarily about the game’s future technical games, including support for ray tracing – although it didn’t tell us anything specific about the structure of the gameplay.
Judging by the emphasis on the team’s brand and the garage action in the teaser footage, Tower 10 seems to aim for a more authentic car experience this time around. It may deviate from the standard direction “car-PG” a Forces past and, of course, the main line Great tourism Games.
Even the name of the game is not confirmed at this time. Esaki refers to it as “the new Forza Motorsport”, Keeping the line with the simplified title and the new logo presented in the trailer. If this is really the restart of the Microsoft sim racing franchise, many fans suspect it is, a countless entry would convey that renewed ambition. Thanks to this testing program, it looks like we’ll all get a better idea of what Tower 10 is planning sooner rather than later.
