It Seems Like Forza Horizon 6 Won't Have French Dubbing For The First Time In The Series UPDATE: Apparently Linked To On-Going VO Artists Strikes In France

I saw the rumors and I had to check myself on Steam, but it seems like for the first time in the entire series, Forza Horizon 6 won’t have French dubbing (only subtitles and interface in french).

French dub was always pretty good in Forza Horizon games, so it feels wrong to cut it.

It doesn’t seem to be an error either.

You can see there’s Italian, German, Spanish dub but no french.

It’s disappointing to be honest.

I hope they are considering adding dub for PS5 release, as I don’t feel it’s a good idea to release the game in France on PS5 without dub.

Not sure if this is accurate or not, but I saw someone say it’s entirely related to a French Voice Actors Strike or other matters beyond their control.

Ah that’s a shame. I mean I respect the context but shame that this got affected. Hopefully, devs can address it afterward. I’m sure they want to do so but this is beyond their control.

OK, thank you! I wasn’t even aware of the strikes… VO artists are probably trying to put pressure on Microsoft. Good on them, then.

Forza Horizon, with the radio hosts and all of that, needs a tonne of work. It’s not that easy to translate english banter to french idioms.

So there’s still a slim chance it will be added down the line, if it is settled… But probably not… And it’s also not good for Fable…

There’s also no voice in french for Destiny 2 Heresy content from last year.
