Today during its E3 press conference, Microsoft debuted Forza Horizon 4.
The new racer in Forza‘s arcadier sister series is set in Britain. It features “dynamic seasons” in a “shared open world.” Apparently this “changes everything.”
Here’s a trailer:
During the E3 demo, we got to see multiple seasons – summer, winter, and everything in between – each of which will bring their own hazards and events. The game will be out on October 2.

It seems like such a boring setting after the last two Horizon titles. I reallu hope the next one aims for a Japanese setting, something with high mountains and complex cities would be much more interesting than a bunch of washed out visuals.
Anything would seem boring after Australia 😛
To be fair even a completely fictional background would be more interesting than that region. Horizon 3 worked because Australia allows for a wide colour palette. Far western Europe is super boring. I would love some south America, Asia or Africa as opposed to greyish blue and brown that places like England represent.
I’m semi-interested as I’m about to go on holiday there but I agree, it does look like a bunch of different locations that are the same.
While the geography was a mess, FH3 at least had some rainforest, a desert-ish area (outback), a city and some nice countryside. This one seems to be countryside, countrytown (yeah I called Edinburgh a town), slightly foresty-countryside and… a country lake?
I guess the seasons will add a bit of variety but I’d love if they went even more crazy with the geography and had swiss alps and/or some windy Italian roads.
Italian/Spanish country side would be amazing. Maybe NZ mountains, heck the map could be 1:1 with one of the islands 😛
Didn’t they do Italy / France in Horizon 2?
There had been rumours going around that Horizon 4 would be set in Japan, but they turned out not to be true.
Honestly I don’t mind where Horizon is set as long as it allows for the amazing open-world driving that the previous games have all had.
I’ve driven in both Japan and Britain. blasting down B-roads in a shitty hatch back is some of the funnest driving times I’ve ever had.
Nailed it.
British back roads are fantastic. I had a Peugeot 309 which was absolutely point-and-shoot and because it had a tiny engine it’s all about never wasting any speed unnecessarily – f you can see through a corner you take the corner… 🙂
I’m looking forward to this one.
