The folks at Playground Games are going to have their work cut out for them this year. If the Fable 4 rumours hold true, the studio will be popping its action-RPG cherry in 2018, but where does that leave Forza Horizon?

Skipping out on the fourth entry in the spin-off series isn't an option - the turns-taking schedule between itself and sister studio Turn 10 dictates that its Playground's turn this year - so the only conclusion to reach is that it has the manpower required to have two triple-A projects on the go.

Each yearly iteration has traditionally been unveiled as part of Microsoft's E3 presser, so we're still ways off from finding out what's under the hood, but as per the rumour, Horizon 4 is headed to none other than the Land of the Rising Sun.

It makes sense. Japan lies due North of previous host Australia and the island nation's landscape is a perfect match for Horizon's fictional car festival. Not to mention the locale has been at pole position on the list of requested settings for some time.

Let's be honest, it's a no-brainer.
