This is an interesting twist. First revealed this morning on IGN, Microsoft has announced they will be bringing Forza Horizon 2 to the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 this Fall.
Playground Games will handle the development of Forza Horizon 2, just as they did with the first game in the spinoff series. The Forza Motorsport team at Turn 10 Studios will be “collaborating closely” with Playground, including adapting the Forza 5‘s Drivatar system for use in Horizon 2.
Hundreds of cars will be included in Horizon 2, including the 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, which has been chosen as the cover athlete vehicle for the game. The Huracan will be battered by realistic weather effects (a first for the Hoizon spinoff series) as it drives through the game’s Southern European locales.
Finally, IGN said that music will play an important in Horizon 2, just as it did in the first game: “A music festival will be the central event around which the game’s activities revolve.”
