According to Turn 10’s Dan Greenawalt, gamers should expect a lot of news related to the entire Forza Motorsport franchise next month. What might these announcements be? Here’s what I think. The fact that he said “entire” franchise might refer to some backward compatible games making their way to Xbox One. A lot of fans have asked for the Forza games on the next-generation device and I’m sure Microsoft will announce them with a lot of fanfare.
Details about the Porsche expansion for Forza Motorsport 6 will also be given for sure. While backward compatible Forza games is just speculation, the Porsche expansion is confirmed and we haven’t heard much about it for awhile. So definitely expect this news. We might even heard about it on Monday if some rumors floating around are to be believed.
Off to Geneva tomorrow for the show. Keep an eye out for lots of news, across the entire @ForzaMotorsport franchise, starting in March.

Lastly, I think that Forza Horizon 3 might be teased for an E3 reveal next month. Again, the fact that Greenawalt said “entire” should give you a clue. We have no idea where this game is even set but rumors a few months ago pointed to the fact that it was being developed by Playground Games.
Are you excited for reveals? Let us know. Where do you want Forza Horizon 3 to take place? Which Forza games do you want backward compatible? I definitely want to see the original Forza Horizon make it to the Xbox One.
