During the stream, creative director Chris Esaki confirmed that the racing game from Turn 10 Studios is a new installment in the series that will not receive a sequential number:
“The title of the game is Forza Motorsport. There is no 8 after the title. It is truly a new Forza Motorsport experience.”
The executive confirmed that the changes made compared to Forza Motorsport 7 are a “huge generational leap”. The creator even made an interesting comparison, stating that in his opinion, the new Forza Motorsport compared to Forza Motorsport 7 offers a bigger difference than the releases introduced between Forza Motorsport 4 and Forza Motorsport 7.
As a reminder, Forza Motorsport 4 was released in 2011, and Forza Motorsport 7 – in 2017
