It wasn't too long ago that Forza Horizon 5 came and raced past its competition. Now, it appears that Playground Games already has its eyes set on the future.
According to a job listing by Playground Games, the Forza Horizon team is looking for a level designer to work on the studio's "next AAA game." The incoming employee will "work closely with environment artists to create and iterate white box environments which prove core gameplay concepts."
Although Playground Games did not explicitly name Forza Horizon 6, it doesn't take an expert to figure things out.
Playground Games' only project since its inception in 2010 is the Forza Horizon games. Not to mention, the only "other" game that the first-party Microsoft studio is working on is the open-world Fable game and it probably isn't in pre-production. This could only mean that Playground is already working on the next Forza Horizon game.
Don't worry, this isn't bad news for Forza Horizon 5.
