Microsoft filed a trademark for "Forzavista" on May 15.
http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3024/image_302411_320.jpg (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/viewer.php?id=302411&mode=article)As spotted by Siliconera (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/05/20/will-microsoft-reveal-forza-vista-at-their-xbox-event/#zGiOWfBo0rLA5vCR.99), the trademark is for "a feature of interactive video game software which allows players to obtain statistical information of internal and external features of a vehicle and to virtually navigate and operate those vehicles."The most recent entry in the racing series, October 2012's Forza Horizon (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-360/racing-driving/12625/forza-horizon/), was principally developed by Playground Games, rather than series creator Turn 10 Studios, whose last game was 2011's Forza Motorsport 4 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-360/racing-driving/11872/forza-motorsport-4/).
The timing of the trademark filing would appear to back up a report last month which suggested (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/400563/next-xbox-launch-games-reportedly-include-ryse-and-forza/) Microsoft's software launch line-up for the next generation Xbox will include a new Forza game boasting "super life-like" graphics.
Microsoft is set to reveal its next Xbox this Tuesday, May 21 at a special event at its Redmond campus.
The live stream of Microsoft's event will be viewable on CVG's ongoingXbox Event Live Blog (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/405949/live-blog/live-blog-countdown-to-the-next-xbox/).
CVG will also be in attendance at the event, while its UK and US teams will be on hand for in-depth, up-to-the-minute coverage.
The event video for the next Xbox, known commonly as the Xbox 720, begins at 10am Pacific time Tuesday (6pm in the UK).
