#FORZA HORIZON 2 MAP SERIES#
The game is set to be released for Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S on 9 November 2021. įorza Horizon 5 was announced during Microsoft and Bethesda's showcase at E3 2021. Individual objects, such as the needles of cholla cacti, can also be displayed by the game (although this is only available for the Xbox Series consoles as of now). An example of this is the rocks in the side of the caldera volcano where they can be viewed with such detail. The game utilised photogrammetry data extensively in order to make the game's virtual environment to look similar to its real-life counterpart. It also sent a team to visit Mexico to capture real-world light and sky data. The team partnered with Mexican artists to create the in-game murals, and Mexican musicians to create the in-game soundtracks. The team chose Mexico as the game's setting due to its diverse and varied landscape. The goal for the team was to create a game whose scale was significantly larger than its predecessors. Development įorza Horizon 5 is currently being developed by Playground Games. Forza Link can also link players' GPS systems if they accept the invitation from another player. According to Brown, it is an AI assistant that tracks the current statuses of players, helping them to link with other players online and play together. A new feature called "Forza Link" was introduced. It also introduces the "EventLab", a toolset in which players can create custom games, races, and more depending on their personal preference. The goal is to pop as many piñatas as they can with the help of other players. One of these mini-multiplayer games is "Piñata pop" where the Horizon Festival's cargo plane drops piñatas. This consists of a series of mini-multiplayer games strewn across the map. It also introduces a brand new Horizon Arcade. Another detail is in the jungle, in which the environment would now react to the weather an example of this is leaves flying everywhere. For example, in the dry season, dust storms will appear, while tropical storms occur throughout the fall storm season. The four seasons still exist but would affect the eleven unique biomes around the map. Because Mexico is such a vast nation with such a wide range of elevations, multiple climates would appear in the game at around the same time. The game introduces a new weather system (local weather) in which players can visit one side of the map and can visibly see a storm. The game is the first in the franchise to support ray tracing on cars (although this is only available in ForzaVista). Both the cars featured in the game and the player character can be extensively customised. Players can explore the open world freely, though they can also compete in multiplayer races and complete the campaign mode. The map contains areas like an active caldera volcano, jungles and beaches, ancient Mayan temples, and cities such as Guanajuato. The map was described by creative director Mike Brown as one of the most diverse Forza Horizon maps the team has built. The game has the largest map in the entire Forza Horizon series, being 50% larger than Forza Horizon 4 while also having the highest point in the Horizon series.
