Microsoft Are Being Coy About Clarkson's Involvement In Forza 6

Rather publicly, Jeremy Clarkson was yesterday relieved of his position on BBC show Top Gear. That was no surprise, due to the weeks long speculation, but it does leave an interesting question concerning video games.

Will Clarkson be in the upcoming Forza 6? The presenter, along with Richard Hammond and James May, have been staples of the Forza franchise for a while now, but that dynamic has almost certainly changed now.

When asked by VideoGamer to clarify if the controversial figure would be back, Microsoft understandably played it politically saying:

Over the years, Top Gear has been a great partner with the Forza Franchise and we'll have more information to share about 'Forza Motorsport 6' later this year.

My personal opinion? Microsoft and Turn 10 studios aren't going to touch Clarkson with a ten foot barge pole. At least, they'd be silly to. Whatever happens to Top Gear will likely reflect in the game, or all parties will just drop the connection.

A little time will likely tell on this one.
