At the E3 2021 press conference by Microsoft, the next installment of the Forza Horizon cult series was announced. Many agree already: This graphics deserves the title “NextGen”. Watch the E3 trailer for Forza Horizon 5.
Forza Horizon 5 will be released on November 9, 2021 for PC and Xbox. Unlike Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon mainly targets casual and multiplayer fans of racing games looking for fast fun. The trailer captivates with an impressive open world brimming with photo-realism and sharp details. The landscape was captured using photogrammetry, and ray tracing is also onboard. This time, the open-world racing game moves the motorsport music festival to Mexico. But judge for yourself whether the in-game scenes could showcase the most beautiful open world yet. Whether this first impression is confirmed we will see at the latest in November. Here you can see the new map Mexico in the trailer:
