Forza 2 Will Not Unwrap this Holiday

Developers at Microsoft Game Studios have revealed that the promised winter '06 release is not gonna happen.  The official word will be announced in just a few weeks at X06 on September 27th.  It appears Q1, 2007 is the new target for the next-gen racer, but whether that means January 1st or March 31st is still unclear.

Updated screenshots, released yesterday, have accelerated excitement and discussion about the title.  Racing fanatics are hoping the delay will not put the breaks on the release of Microsoft's wireless racing wheel.

Forza Motorsport™ 2, the sequel to Microsoft Game Studios' award-winning, fully-customizable driving simulator Forza Motorsport™, speeds its way onto Xbox 360™ this holiday season. Buckle up for authentic simulation physics, bone-jarring damage, and photo-realistic graphics, as well as licensed tuning and customization options.

Loaded with over 300 of the world’s hottest cars for you to collect, personalize, and race, Forza Motorsport 2 gives you the complete racing experience.
