It’s time to go a bit wild on Forza Horizon 5. The new series, Horizon wilds Takeover, will see an emphasis on rally racing, which is convenient (and absolutely co-ordinated by the devs) timing that this arrives ahead of the next expansion, Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure.
The Horizon Wilds Festival Outpost down south of the game map gets a bit of a makeover, and the Stunt Park is back in the stadium if you’re up to driving a car like it’s a skateboard.
The series also pays tribute to Ken Block. All players should receive the 1965 Ford Hoonicorn Mustang and the Ken Block race suit and helmet via the gifts tab in message center.
Alongside that, the 2016 Hoonigan Ford Focus RS RX, as featured in the GYMKHANA NINE video that first appeared on Forza Horizon 3, will be returning to Forza Horizon 5.
Alongside that, there are many new accolades that will reward you for doing daring feats Ken Block would’ve done, as well as many event names in the series paying tribute to his life as a Hoonigan.
(There are still some of the usual puns and wordplay in the event names)
