A new Forza Horizon 5 series starts this week, with the off-road-themed Horizon Wilds Takeover update bringing new cars and the return of a fan-favourite location.
While the new series doesn’t start until tomorrow, the patch update containing the new content is already available to download. Let’s look at the Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Wilds Takeover patch notes to find out what’s new.
New cars
No Forza Horizon 5 series update would be complete without some new cars to enjoy. The Horizon Wilds Takeover update introduces two new-to-Forza cars: the 2021 Polaris RZR Pro and 2021 Sierra 700R.
To help you prepare for the Rally Adventure expansion arriving later this month, an array of off-road vehicles from past Forza Horizon games also return including the 1981 Subaru Brat, 1985 Nissan Safari, 1986 #2 Audi S1, 2015 Honda Trophy Truck and 2016 Hoonigan Gymkhana 9 Ford Focus RS RX.
Stunt Park Stadium returns
The Horizon Wilds Takeover update also sees the return of the Stunt Park Stadium. For the update, the stadium is updated with fresh colours and a Collectible Pinata Dinosaur.
Horizon Wilds Festival decorations are also scattered around the map along with Mural Photo decorations to hunt down in Series Photo Challenges.
