A total of nine artists are involved, and their works will be shown in the three-part "Art of Driving" series. A trailer has already been presented, and three artists have been revealed: Satoshi Fujita (Dragon76), Kazuhisa Uragami, and Inko Ai Takida. Fujita created a mural inspired by the Nebuta festival with cyberpunk elements.
The Nebuta festival is known for its huge illuminated "nebuta" floats, made from washi paper and wire, often depicting characters from Japanese mythology. For this work, I reimagined one of the most popular heroes — Susanoo-no Mikoto, adding a dragon and an almost futuristic style.
Uragami presented the image of a "noble outlaw," inspired by myths and maritime themes:
Instead of an ordinary pirate, I imagined a "noble outlaw," a hero with a personal code. I combined the pirate image with mechanics, adding gears and metal to reflect Kyushu's industry.
Takida took a different path and created nine manga-style characters for Shibuya billboards, including Mr Hot Bun Man, Jun, and Sakura Fukatsu in an Edo-period kimono.
This is only part of the collaboration; the remaining works will be shown later. Forza Horizon 6 is scheduled for release on May 19 for Xbox Series and PC, and previews will be published on April 8.
