Unlocking New Festival Sites
Forza Horizon 6's expansive map of Japan is dotted with various Festival Sites, each serving as a hub for different types of events and activities. To fully experience everything the game has to offer, you'll need to unlock these new locations. The primary method for unlocking new Festival Sites is by gaining Influence and leveling up your Horizon Festival rank.
completing races, Accolades, and participating in various challenges, you will accumulate Influence. Once you reach certain Influence milestones, new Festival Sites will become available for you to travel to and interact with. These new sites often introduce new event types, unique race series, and further opportunities to earn rewards.
The game will visually indicate when a new Festival Site is ready to be unlocked, often through map markers or in-game notifications. It's recommended to focus on several activities to ensure a steady stream of Influence. For instance, if you're finding yourself excelling in street racing, lean into those events. However, don't neglect other areas like Horizon Rush events or Horizon Stories, as they also contribute significantly to your overall Influence and can help you reach the next Festival Site unlock faster.
Each Festival Site might also have its own unique set of challenges or introductory events that you'll need to complete to fully integrate into that area's festival activities. Keep an eye on your map and any prompts that appear after unlocking a new site, as they will guide you on how to best engage with the new location and its offerings.
