While the last Forza Horizon 4 game was set in England, it did introduce a lot of new things such as seasons as well as new events within the game, and the popular Battle Royale mode as well. With Forza Horizon 5 we can expect a much better game and much more events to play around. The popular simulator game has gained immense popularity all thanks to its wide variety of cars and events for players to enjoy, here is everything we know so far about Forza Horizon 5.
Forza Horizon 5 Release Date
During E3 2021 at the Bethesda and Microsoft showcase, we got to see Forza Horizon 5 being announced as well as its release date. The game is set to release on the 9th of November 2021, with the Premium Edition being released on the 5th of November 2021 indicating early access.
Forza Horizon 5 Trailer
We got a first look at the game’s trailer at E3 2021 which showed off the new location of the game as well as a few cars. The trailer also showcases different parts of the map as well various events that will be in the game. We also get to see various vehicles zooming around through the various terrains of Mexico.
Forza Horizon 5 Gameplay
In the Forza Horizon 5 gameplay video, we get to see a whole lot of cool new features and things to do within the game. One of the main and most important ones is the new weather. You can now experience dust storms and tropical storms. These storms will consist of winds, dust, and lots of rain. Also, we can expect to see weather specific to various areas in the game which will then slowly spread around. With Horizon 5, players can simply get in or get out of various events such as races and mini-games as and when they please without having to join a particular session. There is also the new Ai within the game known as Forza Link. This AI helps to link you up with players who enjoy the same events as you do. It will also remember all the people that you’ve met online through various events. Also, new to the game is an active volcano that players will be driving to. There are various deserts, water regions as well as snowy areas where people can explore, race, and participate in challenges.
Forza Horizon 5 Ray Tracing
With advancements in graphic technology and GPUs having support for Ray Tracing, Forza Horizon 5 gets ray tracing but only in the Forzavista aka the garage. This means your garage will be able to showcase the cars as if it’s in real life. However, the ray Tracing as of now is available only on the Xbox Series X|S.
Forza Horizon 5 Festival Spaces
The previous Forza Horizon games had only one festival zone. But with Forza Horizon 5, devs have stated that we can expect more than two Festival spaces, plus the fact that Forza Horizon 5 is going to be the game with the biggest and largest maps ever. We also know that there is going to be a huge highway from start to end.
Forza Horizon 5 Event Lab and Forza Arcade
The event lab as seen in Horizon 4 gives players the tools and options to build and customize how they want a particular event should function. Meanwhile, the Forza Arcade will now let players enter and enjoy various kinds of events and challenges that have been set up by the community. We can expect more than 130 challenges across 11 kinds of game themes.
Forza Horizon 5 Gift Drops and Kudos Points
Players can now take a car, customize it however they like it and then drop it out in the open world to gift it to someone. This is a new feature for Forza Horizon 5. However, we do think that the gift drop items might not be able to be sold away in the auction house. Kudos Points are basically an in-game social currency that is awarded by players to other players. The points will be seen attached to the player’s tag.
Forza Horizon 5 Customization
With Horizon 5 we can expect to see a ton of customization options for wheels, visual and performance upgrades. Also, we will be seeing a new customization editor UX which finally change after the same was being used in Horizon 3 and Horizon 4. Apart from car customization, we will also be able to customize the character by changing hairstyles, add prosthetic limbs, choose pronouns, change voices and purchase clothing and accessories in the store with the help of credits.
