Yesterday, we saw the latest batch of car reveals for Forza Horizon 3. The Australian media got an exclusive early look before the official site was updated today. However, it looks like someone accidentally released next week’s list early.

We’re keeping with the Porsche theme of today’s news, but switching over to a different title. The Porsche expansion in FM6 brought a handful of new models to the Forza franchise, one of which was the 718 RS 60 Spyder.

It looks like the tradition of weekly reveals will continue for the latest installment in the Forza franchise. Last week the first 150 cars were revealed for the upcoming open-world game, and today, another 34 are added to the list.

The teams over at Playground Games and Turn 10 have stayed remarkably quiet on the car list front for their upcoming open-world driving game. After the initial reveal at E3 this month, gamers have had to piece together Forza Horizon 3’s garage based on videos, pre-order info, and interviews. That changes today, as CNET has revealed the first 150 cars set for inclusion.

There’s been a curious trend of vehicles showing up in Forza Motorsport 6 without notice. First was the 1966 Nissan Silvia last December, which players were able to purchase through an unusual method. Access to the car was removed in the next update, but that hasn’t stopped other cars from being discovered. The most recent car pack – titled “Turn 10 Select” – has brought with it another new ride: the Ford XY Falcon GTHO Phase III.

Turn 10 has just revealed the latest car pack for its 2015 sim racing title, and it’s easily one of the strangest the game has seen. As you can see in the video above, the full gamut is on display, with a new “entry-level” supercar taking pride of place in front of a collection of racing vehicles and two older road-going models. One of these – the BMW Isetta – is one of the smallest cars found in the game, while the youngest racer in the pack introduces European Racing Trucks to Forza. The full break down:

It doesn’t feel so long ago that E3 2016 opened it’s doors to the gaming press and eyes from around the world. For racing game fans there wasn’t much actually at the show to get excited about in terms of news – however, the announcement of the inevitable Forza Horizon 3 and it’s trip down under to Australia did excite fans with it’s new locale, vehicles and weather effects. It turns out the gaming media felt the same, and as such, Forza Horizon 3 has been awarded the best racing game on show by the Game Critics Award board.

With Forza Horizon 3 in the spotlight after E3, you’d be forgiven for thinking Turn 10 has wrapped up support for their most recent title. Enjoying a new car pack each month since October – as well as two expansion packs focusing on Porsche and NASCAR – June saw a break from the typical release schedule, with only the new Ford GT LM showing up (for free). We’ve now had confirmation from the team that more cars will be added to the game’s 600-and-counting lineup, a week from tomorrow.

Grand Theft Auto V really is an incredible game, just have a look into our dedicated GTA sub-forum to see that for yourself. With so much on the table it should come as no surprise that there’s plenty to do, and with the Rockstar Editor allowing players to record and edit in-game videos the possibilities are virtually endless.

Forza Horizon 3 had its big unveiling last month at E3 2016. While the presentation was full of salient details – widebody kits, a custom event creator, the return of the auction house and storefronts, drones in the sky – some unexpected surprises arrived in the various interviews conducted after. One that’s sure to interest fans of Aussie metal is the promise of an increased focus on the island nation’s exclusive creations.

One of the biggest announcements from Xbox’s E3 showing was the unveiling of Forza Horizon 3 – the latest installment in Playground Games’ open-world racing series – with the game taking center stage at the keynote conference on June 14th. The showing included an official reveal trailer and a small discussion about the game’s features. However, Microsoft may have teased (accidentally or intentionally) an unannounced manufacturer for FH3 as willbsn13 has spotted on the GTPlanet forums.

Photomode. It’s a standard feature simply expected in racing games these days; a clever addition that allows players to showcase their cars and photography skills, while also functioning as free advertising for the developers. With the current generation of consoles making video recording a priority, it looks like budding videographers and photographers alike will appreciate the latest tool Playground Games is adding to the Forza Horizon series: Drone Mode.

One of the details that may have flown under the radar during the reveal of Forza Horizon 3 was the return of two fan-requested features to the franchise: the Auction House and Storefront. As we get our own content together from the show floor, we’ve got a breakdown of these two features for those unfamiliar with them.

Forza Horizon 3 is coming this September. Set in Australia, the map is said to be twice the size of the previous game, and players will have over 350 cars to explore it with. According to Turn 10 and Playground Games, doing that will now be easier, as players will have more control over how they progress through the game.

Turn 10’s Dan Greenawalt sat down with Matt Farah and the rest of The Smoking Tire podcast crew to chat about the newly-unveiled Forza Horizon 3. In it, he lets a few choice tidbits loose on the upcoming open-world game, chief among them being the (eventual) addition of 3-wheelers.

Forza Horizon 3 was revealed earlier today. Taking place in Australia, it promises 350+ cars, a deeper level of customization, and full cross-platform support with the Windows 10 platform when it launches this September 27. Turn 10 have now revealed the game’s pre-order details, as well as how the Forza Rewards player loyalty program will support the new title.
