Forza Horizon 2 in development
Racing franchise returns with another spinoff sequel
Microsoft has confirmed the next installment in their flagship racing series, as Forza Horizon 2 is in development for Xbox One and Xbox 360 and due for release this fall.
Development on Xbox One is being handled primarily by Horizon 1 studio Playground Games, though the team is collaborating closely with the Motorsport team at Turn 10 Studios; the two teams share a technology pipeline as well as select key personnel. Xbox 360 version is being led by Sumo Digital.
Forza Horizon 2 will include hundreds of cars, according to Playground Games, headlined by the 2015 Lamborghini Huracán. A weather system will also make its Forza debut, while Forza 5’s Drivatar system is also being adapted for Horizon 2.
The game is said to take place in Southern Europe, leading to diversity and amazing vistas. Music will again play a big part in the game, and a music festival will be the central event around which the game’s activities revolve.
More information is expected at E3 next week.
