Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.

Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.

This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.

The upcoming Forza Motorsport (they don’t appear to be using a number, though this would be Forza Motorsport 8) was featured in the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 over the weekend, where a new trailer debuted showing the following things:

– Spring, 2023 release date.
– XBOX, PC, “Cloud” release.
– Cars shown include Porsche 911 GT3, Mazda 787B, Penske Acura (I think), BMW M4 GT3 (I think), Chevrolet Corvette C8.R (I think), Aston Martin GT3, Vintage Camaro, Vintage Can-Am, Honda RA300 1967 GP car and more.
– Laguna Seca and more.
– Nissan GT-R road car.
– Drifting competition.
– Impressive visual paint damage.
– Lighting changes.
– Weather changes.

The end screen confirms the release date, and also says “play it day one with game pass” so this might mean it’s free to game pass subscribers. I’m frankly not sure what “cloud” means as far as which service you’d be streaming from, but it’s very cool to see PC there!

Screenshots released to press:
