Forza Horizon 4 Post-Launch Roadmap Detailed
Horizon 4 will change its in-game season every week after players have finished the early portion of the game, and after a full year of in-game seasons (four weeks) a new year will start with a batch of new content, the first starting on October 25.
The first season present at launch for Forza Horizon 4 will be summer, but this will shift to autumn on Thursday, 3:30 PM GMT and will change the season around the game world. This season change will happen at the same time every week, and will be shown via a countdown clock for gamers currently playing the game. If players are in the middle of something, the game will allow them to finish, then a brief cinematic showing the season change will be shown, with the new season changes in effect after the cinematic.
During the first in-game week, which starts for Early Access players on September 28 and other players on October 2, there will be five summer events, an exclusive new car (the Ferrari 812), New Forzathon stock and exclusives and two new cars for Car Pass owners. The Following week’s autumn events feature similar updates as well as the 911 GT3 RS ’19 car. Winter and spring will also get continuous event updates and new cars, including the Chevrolet ZR2 and Honda Civic ’18 (respectively).
After that full year of seasons is over, on October 25 a bevy of new updates and features will be rolling out, along with the continual weekly updates. The route creator will be coming that day, allowing players to “paint” their own tracks in the open world of Forza Horizon 4 that can be up to 40 miles long, dropping checkpoints along the way. After test-driving the plotted course, players can upload the track for others to enjoy with adjustable settings for seasons, weather conditions, and more. The track can even become part of the community events folder that can be accessed by players that curates some of the best player-created routes.
Also dropping on October 25 is the British Racing Green Horizon Story, which will let players “Get behind the wheel of some of Britain’s greatest cars to produce 10 episodes of the Horizon Festival’s motoring TV series. From Aston Martin & McLaren to the Talbot Sunbeam & Mini, British Racing Green will take you through a century of British automotive excellence."
