 A BRAND-NEW RACE THAT SPANS ALL FOUR SEASONS

Forza Horizon 4 Turns To Mother Nature To Change The Game

Microsoft has crafted an ingenious strategy with Forza, its flagship racing franchise. Each year the focus changes from hardcore racing simulation in the core series to a more broad and free type of racing in Horizon. Where the core game sports legendary tracks and cars built for pure racing, Horizon cares more about the open road and the locales that contain them. Forza Horizon 4 is bringing that philosophy home to Britain, including some interesting new ways to experience the thrill of the race.

The top addition to Forza Horizon 4 is the dynamic season system, where all four seasons will rotate in and change the way each race is played. Spring and summer bring mostly sun-glistened roads and blue skies, though the occasional rainstorm will impact the races that find them. Autumn will fill the screen with colour, as leaves change and fall from trees just as they would in real life, while winter dumps snow onto the action and affects how cars handle and accelerate. Each season lasts about one realworld week before transitioning, which will give us plenty of exposure to all of the elements.
