It's Official: Forza Horizon 4 Is Set In Britain, Roadworks Included

The fourth Forza Horizon instalment has been announced, and it'll feature a UK-inspired map with changeable weather

11 Jun 2018

The rumours were correct: Forza Horizon 4 is indeed coming to the United Kingdom. Well, an idealised version of Britain: it’s all the pretty parts glued together (think the countryside, the coast and Edinburgh), minus the traffic. But, there will be potholes and roadworks. How realistic!

After the 2 October 2018 worldwide launch on Xbox One and Windows 10, gamers will be able to enjoy driving on our British Isles with changeable weather and seasons. You’ll have over 450 cars to choose from to tear around in the dry, in the wet, on mud, snow or ice “in a shared world where everyone experiences changes in time of day, weather and seasons together,” Turn 10 says. Oh, and yes, judging by the trailer (above), a hovercraft will be involved somehow, we suspect in a bonkers showcase event.

We don’t have a car list yet, but we do know that the cover cars will be the McLaren Senna and the 1997 Land Rover Defender 90. The Red Arrows are involved too, just to up the British ante a little further. God save the queen, etc.

Here are some of the other cars we can see in the trailer, the promo shots and gameplay videos:

Lamborghini Centenario
Pagani Huayra BC
Aston Martin Vulcan
VW Beetle
Ariel Nomad
Jaguar F-Type
MG B
Jeep Trailcat
Metro 6R4
Audi S1 Quattro
Bugatti Chiron
Austin FX4 Black Cab
Jaguar E-type
Austin Healey 100-6
Austin Healey Sprite
Toyota Tundra TRD Trophy Truck
RWB Porsche 911
BMW M2
Austin Mini
Porsche Cayman GT4
Dodge Viper ACR

Horizon 4 will feature over 450 cars spanning 100 different manufacturers

One big new feature is the ability to buy property (Test Drive Unlimited, is that you?), which “unlocks new items and gameplay perks”. There’s also a new ‘Route Creator’, allowing players to design and share their own races online.

It’ll be 4K and HDR ready, and there’s a 60 frames per second option for the Xbox One X. However you play it, though, it should be a stunning-looking game.

Unlike Horizon 3, the single player and multiplayer worlds will effectively be merged together, although offline play is still possible. Cooperative play features, and you’ll be able to join a ‘casual’ or ‘ranked’ team to spice things up.

Roll on October…

Is James may included in the game?

I just this last week

Bet there still won’t be a damn 65’ Mustang 😒

Why is it that every time there’s a list of cars on a article I can’t see it on mobile

New Porsche 13 comments. New forza 144 comments 🤔🤔🤔

Why not some really narrow country roads too? For the slower cars like the Mini etc.

What’s the need for changeable weather, doesn’t it always rain in the U.K?

I am from Scotland - quite possibly the rainiest place on earth - and I can confirm that, as impossible as it sounds, we actually sometimes get some sun.
