The 10th-anniversary celebration will kick off onForza Horizon 5’s next weekly reset, on October 11, and will remain available over the next four weeks, for the duration of the entire season. Players will then have the opportunity to jump into Horizon Origins, an all-new Story that will go for a ride down memory lane that ends with unlocking the unique Dodge SRT Viper GTS inspired by the originalForza Horizon’s cover car. The Horizon Street Scene is also getting a 16-race expansion that’s bolstered further with the addition of unique Midnight Battle races, each of which comes with its own unique vehicle for players to chase after.
Much like theprevious majorForza Horizon 5seasonal update, this one too comes with its own set of unique new cars, customizations, and other assorted content. Some prominent examples include an unlockable Horizon Mixtape featuring music from the previousForza Horizongames, a thematic revamp of the game’s open world that will change every week, and 22 entirely new ADV.1 rims to customize all the new cars.
As its focus lies primarily on highlighting the look and feel of all the previousFHgames, the 10-year anniversary update will be a perfect addition for players who might not be overly interested ininteracting withForza Horizon 5’s Hot Wheels DLC. The full list of additions, fixes, and changes is rather hefty indeed, and it’s unlikely to leave anyone wanting.
In fact, Playground Games is taking this opportunity to substantially expandForza Horizon 5’s list of the fastest carson the market. Cars such as the legendary Ferrari 599XX and the Koenigsegg Agera will be making their debut inFH5over the course of the next couple of weeks, which is bound to thrill both fans of the oldHorizongames and those who might never have driven these vehicles before.
