Playground Games has revealed the second expansion coming to Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure. This DLC will release on 29th March across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.
This new expansion goes all in on rally racing within the new Sierra Nueva region. This new map features plenty of tricky roads, steep inclines, blind crests and asphalt jumps. Then there’s all of the off-road rallying, with deformable sand roads that feature pre-deformed tire tracks.
There’s different biomes within Sierra Nueva, including the town of Pueblo Artza, the Gkymkhana suitable Abandoned Quarry, Sand Dunes, Desert Gorge, Green Hills, and the “entirely smashable” Palm Forest.
The new rally campaign will see you join one of three teams, taking on the largest number of racing events ever to feature in a Horizon expansion, with timed Horizon Rally stages and multi-car Horizon Races, across dirt, asphalt, and night time races.
True to rally racing, you’ll have callouts for the road ahead, though this comes with a twist. Yes, there’s a familiar icons at the top of the HUD, but the callouts will be coming from some familiar Forza Horizon voices and don’t seem to be strictly like those real rally drivers get. Also, they’re being called out from a helicopter that is following your every move from the sky.
There’s 10 new off-road cars to collect, including:
- 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum
- 1973 Hoonigan Volkswagen Baja Beetle Class 5/1600 ‘Scumbug’
- 2001 Ford #4 Ford Focus RS
- 2022 Alumicraft #6165 Trick Truck
- 2021 Polaris RZR Pro XP Factory Racing Limited Edition
- 2020 Jimco #179 Hammerhead Class 1
- 2019 Jimco #240 Fastball Racing Spec Trophy Truck
- 2019 Casey Currie Motorsports #4402 Ultra 4 ‘Trophy Jeep’
- 2021 RJ Anderson #37 Polaris RZR Pro 4 Truck
- 2021 Alumicraft #122 Class 1 Buggy
However, you’ll also be able to upgrade other cars in the game with a new set of rally parts, including an anti-lag system to boost turbo engines even further, and launch control.
Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure will be out on 29th March. Getting access will be possible through the Premium Add-ons Bundle, Premium Edition and Expansions Bundle, or by purchasing it standalone for $19.99 USD.
This second expansion is a more straight-laced effort than Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels, which featured toy cars and iconic orange looping tracks.
For that expansion last July, I said, “Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels builds an epic new setting for the iconic orange track and racing to take place in, and it’s a lot of fun to take in the stunning vistas as you race through the dramatic twists and turns. It gives a good counterpoint to the instant gratification of the main game with a more defined progression, but can feel a bit too rigid in some ways.”
