Forza Horizon 4 is an open worldracing video game developed by Playground Games and published by Microsoft Studios.[ It was released on 2 October 2018 on Xbox One and Microsoft Windows after being announced at Xbox’sE3 2018 conference. The game is set in a fictionalised representation of the United Kingdom. It is the fourth Forza Horizon title and eleventh instalment in the Forza series. The game is noted for its introduction of changing seasons to the series.
Forza Horizon 4 is a racing video game set in an open world environment based in a fictional representation of the United Kingdom, in a region that includes condensed representations of Edinburgh, the Lake District(including Derwentwater), and the Cotswolds (including Broadway), among others, and features over 420 licensed cars. The game features a route creator which enables players to create their own races.[ The game takes place in a synchronised shared world, compared to the AI-driven Drivatars from its predecessors, with each server supporting up to 72 players. The game is also playable in offline mode.[
Players have the opportunity to buy in-game houses which unlock new items, cars and game-play perks.[ The game features a dynamic weather system that also depicts the change of seasons. The environment in the world will change depending on the season: for example, lakes will freeze over in winter and allow players the ability to explore regions of the game world that would be inaccessible during all the other seasons.[ The seasons are fixed across the game’s servers, meaning that all players will experience the same conditions at the same time. After completing a prologue series of events which introduce players to all four seasons, the shared-world seasons will change every week,[ with the changes happening on Thursdays at 2:30 PM GMT.[ The season changes are forewarned to players in the game with a countdown clock, which, when finished, will trigger a short cinematic cutscene showing the previous season changing to the new one, although the cinematic will be delayed for players who are in the middle of an event or activity.[
Playground Games have also announced plans for two chapters of downloadable content for the game.[ The first of these, Fortune Island, was released in December 2018. It includes a new map, a range of additional cars and adds extreme weather conditions to the game. Two car packs have also been released as of 26 November 2018, one including cars from the James Bond films, the other being a collection of Formula DRIFT cars and Fortune Island, presenting Lamborghini Urus, 2018 BMW M5 in an new action map with extreme climatology
Owing to licensing issues, vehicles from Mitsubishi and Toyota (including Lexus marque with the exception of some offroad racing and pre-customized trucks and Subaru BRZ) are not presented in the game wich is a shame in my opinion beacusa the Mk4 Toyota Supra was my favourite car in the previous game(Forza Horizon 3).
Forza Horizon 4 is set to launch on both Xbox One and Windows 10 with Play Anywhere support on October 2, 2018. Folks who buy the Ultimate Edition can begin playing early, though, beginning on September 28.
The Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 but besides early play time also includes the full regular game, Car Pass, VIP membership, the Day One car pack and two expansion packs when they’re released. The expansions are due to launch in December 2018 and early 2019.
Also available is the Deluxe Edition which includes the Car Pass and a special Formula Drift Car Pack and will cost $79.99. This version is only available as a digital download.
The standard edition will only include the base game for $59.99 and will be available in both digital and physical forms alongside the Ultimate Edition.
