Featuring “hundreds of cars,”Forza Horizon 2will be set in Southern Europe, focusing centrally around a local music festival. For the first time in the racing simulation series’ history, a weather system will be introduced into gameplay, similar to other racing titles like in theGran Turismoseries. Furthermore, the Drivatar system fromForza 5will also see its return inForza Horizon 2.
While some may not like the fact that it will become a cross-gen title, it makes sense that the Xbox 360 will see itself tied to this recent release. The Xbox 360 hasn’t seen a platform or console-exclusive racing simulation title for quite some time, and for Microsoft to giveForza Horizon 2a release, it helps further extend the legs of a console that is seeing its last days.
Forza Horizon 2will be released later this Fall for the Xbox One and Xbox 360.
