Forza Horizon-utvecklare jobbar på helt nytt spel utan bilar

Playground Games som har stått för utvecklingen av Forza Horizon-serien jobbar på ett nytt open world-spel som inte innehåller bilar. Tydligen ska en ny studio öppnas där 200 personer ska jobba på någonting de just nu enbart kallar för "Project 2". Så här säger "creative director" Ralph Fulton om saken:

"We feel like we've become pretty good at racing games over the years. We can always strive to get better but we'd love to prove ourselves in a different genre. That's another goal of Project 2, to allow us to do that. We're going to need to hire some very talented people with experience that we don't have."

Playground Games kommer dock fortfarande vara involverade i Forza Horizon enligt Fulton:

"Our business with Forza over the last six, seven years has been great for us. It remains the cornerstone of our business--we're not running away from racing, we still feel passionate about making new racing games and delivering new experiences for our players.

Horizon 3 was a watershed game for us--it's certainly our best-reviewed game critically, it's our most commercially successful game as well. It's the first time we've experienced that commercial breakout hit phenomenon--the other games have been successful but not on the level of this one. We want to keep doing that. In a way, that game took six years to make. So we want to keep developing that skillset and pushing new boundaries."

Om "Project 2" är under utveckling exklusivt till Xbox eller om det kommer till andra format också vet vi i dagsläget inte men den som lever kommer att få se, så småningom.

Vad för spel tror du att de utvecklar?
