...Now, is this a video teasing "special content"?
Or is it just hype, as with past trailers?
We will find out in about a month.

score cars? means that pink slip race from fh3 gonna make a return?

The return of the pink slip race was unexpected.

My one concern is that the prizes in this mode will be treated as exclusive cars only available in this mode and cannot be sold or deleted like barn finds. (i.e., We can never get more than one unit)

Perhaps the pink slip prizes will be cool cars. So I hope my pessimistic prediction will not come true.

 

[willbsn13]

Very curious to see if you the Midnight Battles mode is an actual pink slip where you lose your car if you come 2nd, or it's like FH3 where it doesn't really matter.

Hyped about the new radio station though, very very nice touch from Playground. I hope it has the Netsky Remix of Everyday on there!

I love how the trailer records the sequences within locations within Mexico that are loosely similar to the locations from the past Forza Horizon games.

Forza Horizon 1 Sequence: Copper Canyon (similar to Red Rock in Colorado, USA)
Forza Horizon 2 Sequence: Guanajuato (similar to Nice in Southern Europe)
Forza Horizon 3 Sequence: El Arco de Cabo San Lucas (similar to the Twelve Apostles in Australia)
Forza Horizon 4 Sequence: Farmlands and Plains (similar to the farmlands and plains in the UK)

October 11 marks only the start of the fun, as it’ll be followed by four weeks of anniversary themed events and challenges on the Festival Playlist highlighting each previous entry in the Forza Horizon series.

We were absolutely bang on with the festival playlist being themed around each game for each seasonal week.

Now let's hope PG have brought some awesome cars back to celebrate!

 

[Turboteg90]

The London taxi has to be back from FH4.

 

[Stang616]

This gives me hope for some cars returning from prior games. Ford Country Squire, Shelby 1000, Holden FX, Falcon, etc. The list goes on.

Maybe each playlist week would bring back one or two cars from the featured game.

Well just saw this while I'm scrolling on Facebook Forza News

If you are talking about the yellow one? It is the Acura Integra Type-R.

 

[Nacho Libre]

About the seasonal Eventlab... SHOTS HAVE BEEN FIRED! (you'll see)

the return of fan-favorite music hosted on a fresh radio station

A greatest hits of the previous games sounds nice. But please, no Skrillex. And PLEASE no LostProphets because **** that guy.

 

[nukleabomb]

So...
Any body else have missing icons of the new cars in the Festival Playlist and car collection/selection menus?
I also have a very low volume for the RS7 2021.

Not me. I can see all five cars fine. Though sorry to hear your game got effected by this bug(?) Hopefully it can resolved somehow?

 

[GTvsForza]

According to the Forza Discord, it's a bug with the PC version.

 

[nukleabomb]

Just in case anybody was wondering

 

[Milouse]

This season Speed Trap is very hard for me, i tried several cars and failed by 1 or 2 km/h in best cases.
Edit: I passed it quite easily by tuning a fast car (a 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder) with off-road tires and suspension and going from south-west trough the desert in the axe of the last portion.

Yes, same on reddit and official forum. I have the problem too.

 

[willbsn13]

2016 AM Vulcan spotted in this Seasonal Championship this Series. Probably just a dev build leftover.

Or Jesko the whole thing going south-north on the road at roughly 370 kph...

I used one of the Koenigseggs, the Agera RS I think, with an AWD swap and managed 223mph on my 2nd try. You need something with a lot of power and acceleration given how twisty or bumpy any direction to the trap is.

How do they keep making this mistake though? Surely they should know to check that the cars used in these thumbnails are actually available in the game?

 

[ItzAla]

IDK what is this exactly but recently on SteamDB a new DLC appear for the game

 

[breyzipp]

Would be nice for the 10 year anniversary to have FH2 upscaled in res and/or FPS for current gen and/or prev gen consoles. If I’m not mistaken FH2 is the only game of the series stuck in 30 FPS now.

FH1 & 3 got X1X patches
FH4 got a Series patch
FH5 is a Series game

Either the person creating these thumbnails isn't acutely aware of the current car list or.... PG just love teasing us with unreleased content.

Also a couple of bets for Midnight battle reward cars;

2010 Ferrari 599XX (as an homage to Darius Flynt)
2021 Mercedes-AMG Project One Forza Edition (perhaps the Midnight battle reward for beating a top FH5 racer, lets say Rami?)

Forza Editions from prior games or of the cover cars would make sense here as well.
