Microsoft has announced the first expansion of Forza Horizon 5. The Hot Wheels expansion adds Hot Wheels-style tracks including loops. There are also cars of the toy brand in the DLC. Horizon 5 isn’t the first Horizon game to get Hot Wheels DLC.
Of Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels Expansion adds a new game world to the game: Horizon Hot Wheels Park. This map is set in the sky over Mexico and is full of Hot Wheels tracks. These orange lanes go upside down several times and can cross themselves. This allows drivers to run into each other on the track and collide.
These courses go through and along the landscape of Mexico, driving for example through natural rock bridges, or past volcanoes. Microsoft says the expansion adds more than 200 miles of track in four different biomes, including tundra, a forest and a canyon. The expansion also adds over 80 new track elements that gamers can use to create their own Hot Wheels tracks.
In addition to additional tracks, the expansion adds ten cars to the game that can also be used outside the expansion. It concerns Hot Wheels cars such as the Bone Shaker and the Deora II, but ‘real’ cars such as the Hennessey Venom F5 and the Mosler MT900 GT3 are also in the DLC.
The Hot Wheels DLC costs twenty euros and can be played from July 19. The DLC is included in the Premium bundle, which will also include the second unannounced expansion. Forza Horizon 3 previously received a Hot Wheels expansion. Forza Horizon 5 now has more than 20 million players, according to Microsoft.
