An article from GTPlanet broke the news about the apparent slip-up, which was posted by Forza developers Turn 10 Studios.
In a Week In Review post from the studio, community manager Brian Ekberg mentioned Forza community member Raceboy77’s recent Canadian eSports win.
However, the link to the article wasn’t quite right. Instead of linking to the relevant article, it linked back to a local file with an unusual path name.
The Week In Review post has since been corrected, but GTPlanet managed to get a screenshot of the suspicious URL path before the link was fixed.
Quote Says:
"""""file:///C:/Users/brianek/Documents/Week in Review/Developed in partnership with UK-based studio, Electric Square, Forza Street is built from the ground up to support a wide range of Windows 10, iOS, and Android devices. """""
Judging from the URL path, Forza Street appears to be a mobile-based project that’s being worked on in tandem with Electric Square, a studio based in Brighton, UK.
Electric Square have previously worked with Microsoft Studios on Miami Street, a free-to-play ‘pick-up-and-play’ racing game, so they’re not strangers to the world of racing games.
If true for the first time there might be a racing game worth playing on mobile devices.
But seriously, this is good news depending on how you look at it. You can bridge mobile and Console Xbox Live files, and playing Forza Horizon 4 on console could lead to some goodies and unlockables with the Mobile Forza Street game.
It's a pretty good strategy. Question is how good of a developer is Electric Square that they could make a fun and polished racing game experience on mobile. I know T10 is working with them but they are mostly console tool focused. Interesting.
