Horizon Retrowave (Series 34) overview | May 21 update

They don’t though, they range from about 2005 - present day, 1990-2005 is already Retro territory

Both Modern classes have cars that start in the 90’s / early 2000’s

Modern Sports Cars: Starts at 1995 with the Gunther Werks Porsche 911
Modern Supercars: Starts with 1990 with the Singer Porsche DLS 911

Also, they said “highly requested car” not “the highest requested car”.

Both of those are restomods though

The Guntherwerks 400R is from 2017 and the Singer DLS is from 2018, which makes them fit squarely into modern categories

I was really confused when i watched the livestream the developers didnt showcase a new car pack! Slightly annoying but it is what it is

We’re getting 3 #NewToForza cars and two long lost for free, but some are upset that they can’t throw more money at Playground Games this month? I’m not sure if I should be amused or deeply worried :sweat_smile:

I think they stopped bringing car packs because it’s heard that fh6 will be announced on june 9th at xbox showcase n be released around october.

I said that too; But i also think FH6 will be released 2025 (spring or summer?).

That would be quite a change, as every forza game after Motorsport 2 has been released in the Sept/Oct/Nov timeframe.

That’ll be more possible.

I think of that too but to continue fh5 upto 2025 they will need to bring atleast 50 new cars including free n dlcs…n i’m sure they will never add revuelto n all in fh5…cause cars like revuelto,gemera,bolide are perfect contenders for car pass…they won’t miss that chance i guess.

The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s HALO/flagship. I very much doubt a flagship from such a big brand will end up in a car pass.

It is, however, a potential contender for cover car, and they won’t release the cover car for 6 in FH5.

I’m not expecting FH6 this year. Competing directly with Solar Crown seems high risk/high reward. On one hand, they could bury the competition. On the other hand, the competition could bury them.

I do think PGG will break form and say something at the xbox showcase even if the game isn’t coming out this year though. Not sure that’s a good thing though.

Nope, crew motorfest already has it. Also if you pay attention to every cover car in FM & FH history, almost all of them are made the same year a new forza game released.
(Example: FM7 [2017] porsche 911 GT2 RS [2017] & FH3 [2016] lamborghini centenario [also 2016])
The new FM reboot [2023] even set a new record, featuring 2024 chevrolet corvette C8 eray.

Not really, it depends on what they bring in, but going by 5 car seasons until the end of 2024, they’re likely to bring in 30 more cars (new and from FH2-4/FM5-FM)

Zero chance on that, that car is already on another cover, the one for TCM.

I’m afraid it’d be a high risk only for Solar Crown :wink:

As for FH6 being announced in June for autumn release, I hope it’s true but I wonder if adding entire new radio station so late in FH5’s life would make any sense if PG were going to release the next game in a few months :thinking:

It depends on how they play it and what they’re planning on revealing. If they pull a Massive Entertainment and tease something big only for it to be little more than a hyped-up Easter Egg, it’s going to go poorly. If they reveal a Forza Horizon 6, though, and it looks like a proper evolution of the franchise, then they can come out looking pretty; the onus will be on them, though, to avoid the pitfalls of Turn 10’s hubris and mistakes and keep things going.

I personally don’t see FH6 releasing this year. I think all the recent car packs and new radio station are a signal of that.
Why not save that content for the new game if it’s coming so soon?

I think a spring '25 release is possible given Xbox doesn’t really need FH as a big holiday release anymore since they have Call of Duty and many other first party games coming up.

Another reason to release in early '25 is that GTA6 is scheduled for fall '25. Not exactly the same genre but they’re both open world driving games and GTA6 will consume a lot of gamers time and attention.

If not early '25, maybe we don’t see FH6 until some time in '26, although I wouldn’t be surprised if GTA6 gets delayed into '26.

It’s also the cover car for The Crew Motorfest so I doubt FH6 will get the Revuelto as well as the cover car.

Id love to see a Vector make it into the game. A series called Retrowave seems like it would have been the best chance so i doubt itll ever happen. I saw that some owner let a youtube guy have at one, so there’s still at least one of those bonkers machines still out there with its submarine stylings.

But I’ll OCD collect whatever they throw out there.
