Forza 8 announcements to expect at Xbox Games Showcase MicrosoftRoaring engines, screeching tires, and whistling wind is all a part of the Forza Motorsport experience \u2013 and we\u2019re expecting big things from the Xbox Games Showcase on July 23, 2020. Microsoft\u2019s exclusive car racing franchise is broken up into two types of title, Horizon (which is an open world take on things) and the track-based Forza Motorsport series, which will have a brand new installment some time in the near future. With so much talk already surrounding Sony\u2019s Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation 5, this month\u2019s event from Xbox is going to have to pull out all of the stops. Usually, new content would be revealed in front of a live audience during the E3 trade fair, although this year many audience-based events have been forced to cancel due to the current global situation. \ud83c\udfae Xbox Games Showcase \ud83d\udcc5 July 23rd \u23f0 9am PT@SummerGameFest Pre-Show at 8am PT with @GeoffKeighley on @YouTubeGaming#XboxGamesShowcase pic.twitter.com\/zGr5AnFwic\u2014 Xbox (@Xbox) July 6, 2020 Anyway, let\u2019s jump into the big things developers may show us during the presentation. Forza 8 reveal trailer If there\u2019s one thing Xbox does just about better than anyone else, it\u2019s car trailers. Year after year the Forza trailers have been a thing of beauty, and now that we\u2019re pretty light on details for the upcoming game, a reveal trailer looks to be on the cards. Forza 8 release date One thing we don\u2019t yet know is the Forza 8 release date, and there\u2019s a chance this year it will stray away from the typical launch window we\u2019ve come to expect. In recent years, these games have been coming out around late September or early October time, although this year Xbox have thrown a spanner in the works with their \u201cHoliday release\u201d of the Xbox Series X. Could this mean we see Forza pushed back a bit to around February 2021? We should find out during this event. New cars for Forza 8 The Forza Motorsport selection of vehicles will usually comprise almost every manufacturer you could name off the top of your head. Porsche? They\u2019ve got it. Ferrari? Of course. How about a Peel P50? Don\u2019t tempt them, it\u2019s happened before today. This time around, we would expect to see a few of the newest and fastest cars on the market today appear in the trailer. These may include the sensational McLaren 720S, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, or something like the brand-spanking Ford GT 2020 model \u2013 as seen in a video review from influencer SuperCarBlondie. No doubt, these three and many more will be included in the game. Hopefully, we\u2019ll see them gliding across the tarmac in the presentation as well. Forza 8\u2019s next-gen experience Microsoft have already confirmed that they won\u2019t force their players to jump up to next-gen to enjoy fresh releases. In fact, by bundling together the Game Pass and xCloud streaming as of September this year, all new releases will roll out on Xbox One and Xbox Series X, and Forza is included in that. That being said, just like we\u2019ve seen from PlayStation with their FIFA 21 and Madden 21 trailers, a first-look at next-gen graphics looks to be a shoo-in for this event. New racing mechanics, more realistic gameplay, additional features, more content packed into the game, and much more is expected to be announced soon \u2013 and we\u2019ll let you know everything that gets confirmed once the dust has settled on Xbox Games Showcase this July. Hopefully, all of these things are checked off soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
