Turn 10 Studios may be hard at work on its huge console racer Forza Motorsport, but that hasn't stopped the team from branching out and working with other developers on different projects. As part of a press release from developer Hutch, Turn 10 is confirmed to be supporting development on a new mobile title.
It sounds like Turn 10 will be working in a consultancy role of sorts - Hutch is the lead developer on this mystery mobile game. It will be car-related though, as you'd probably expect for a title that turns to the Forza dev for assistance.
"This new game will be a celebration of car customization and automotive culture. Our two studios began discussing the joint project in 2020 and together we were keen to take advantage of Forza's world-leading gameplay and visual style, alongside Hutch's experience in mobile live ops. And so the partnership was formed, rooted in our shared desire to create a platform leading automotive gaming experience."
So, the team at Hutch mentions "Forza's world-leading gameplay and visual style", but it hasn't yet been confirmed whether or not this title will be a part of the Forza series or not. For now, all we know is the game will "focus on car customization as a core gameplay mechanic".
"We set out to build a fresh and unique game tailored to a mobile audience, offering engaging gameplay that players can enjoy on the go. The new game, due to be fully revealed in due course, will focus on car customization as a core gameplay mechanic. Hutch will be leading development of the title, with creative input and guidance from Turn 10."
Microsoft has taken Forza to the mobile world before with Forza Street, but that game closed down last year after a few years on the market. Could this be some sort of successor to that? Who knows! For now, we only know that this new project will be a car game with input from Turn 10 Studios.

What I’d love is a mobile/tablet app that you can use to customise your cars for Forza on consoles. Back in the 360 days there was quite a community on ForzaMotorsport.net but you could achieve a lot more with something more tactile than a console.
If Microsoft is serious about the mobile market, they should release mobile games accessible through Game Pass without all the mobile BS of microtransactions and advertisement.
It's good to be able to play console games on the go through the cloud, but there isn't internet everywhere. Make decent mobile games without exploitation and people may subscribe to Game Pass just for that.
@Magabro I think this could happen as recent court decisions have undermined Apple's hold on installing apps so there could be alternate App stores on iOS in the future. Without that function I don't see how a mobile Game Pass would work.
Will it have achievements?
@PhileasFragg Think Microsoft Solitaire could be an example - it's free on Android and you can pay quite a bit for premium, but premium is free for Game Pass members.
They've not extended it to their other mobile games such as Wordament yet for some reason though
So is this like the Saint Row app was to prep your customisation before the game comes out? Or is it to do in your spare time? Just a customisation app to work out your livery designs on the go?
I don't get what this is.
Compared to their other mobile options of Solitaire/TapTiles or the Halo isometric games or Forza Street.
