Forza Horizon 5, the latest instalment in Playground Games’ sublime open-world racing series is a few short months away from release, and with the hype handle now beginning to crank in earnest, the developer has offered a first look at the game’s sprawling Mexico-themed map.
You can see the map, with its tantalising tangle of roadways and landmarks below, but Playground has also given a bit of a guided tour in its latest video (start at the 27-minute mark).
As creative director Mike Brown reiterates, Forza Horizon 5’s map will be 50% bigger than that of its UK-set predecessor, providing ample room for its previously announced 11 biomes, which include tropical and rocky coastlines, living and sandy deserts, winding canyons, arid hills, lush farmland, river-strewn jungles, swampland, and the vibrant city streets of Guanajuato – all beneath the gargantuan volcano that lies at the centre of the map.
