Forza Horizon 2: First Gameplay, Free DLC and a New Trailer

The release of Forza Horizon 2 is getting closer every day, and Turn 10 and Playground Studios keep giving us more awesome stuff to talk about. First let’s start with actually playing the game. I have been playing it over the last few days to get ready for the review, and now you can watch me LIVE. I am allowed to stream one full hour of gameplay before the review embargo. I will be playing tonight starting at 6PM EDT. You can find the live stream video after the break. Feel free to join in a chat with me.

The next big piece of news is the announcement of the Launch Bonus Car Pack. This little bit of DLC is available on day one for free. The pack includes: 2003 Ford Focus RS, 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, 1993 Clio Williams, 2015 Ford Mustang GT, 1987 Buick Regal GNX, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 1968 Abarth 595 EsseEsse, and the 1956 Ford F-100. For fans of the upcoming game, you may have noticed that these are all previously announced cars. What downloading the car pack does, is give you these cars for free in the game so you won’t have to purchase them with the in-game credits. That means more money to buy other cars and upgrades.

Finally, we also have a brand new trailer for the new game. It is a live-action trailer that helps to define what Forza Horzion 2 is about. It starts with a selection of cars that are trapped on a track, much like a normal racing game. Soon though, a Lamborghini Huracán decides that is not good enough and bursts froth from the confines of the track and out into the open world. It’s a pretty cool video.

On a closing note, Turn 10 and Playground studios released the details on some upcoming DLC options including the VIP Membership and Car Pass purchases. You can find all the details on that after the break along with the embedded player for tonight’s Stream.

I’ll see everyone later tonight.

Forza Horizon 2: First Gameplay, Free DLC and a New Trailer originally appeared on topspeed.com on Monday, 22 September 2014 15:00 EST.
