Overview
- Forza Horizon 6 design director Torben Ellert told The Japan Times the team made cherry blossom trees indestructible.
- Ellert said most other trees and props still break to keep exploration quick and rewarding.
- He added that some temples and other culturally important places are either protected or left out to discourage players from driving through them.
- Reporters linked the move to last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows uproar in Japan over breakable shrine items, which led Ubisoft to issue a day-one patch.
- Some players and writers say they rarely notice the protected trees in regular play, suggesting the feature is subtle.
