Forza Horizon: Title Update and Rally Pack Detailed

Forza Horizon: Title Update and Rally Pack DetailedA brand new content pack will be available to download for Forza Horizon tomorrow (December 18), featuring a host of rally content including new cars, challenges and tracks.

The Rally Pack (priced at 1600 MS Points or free if you own the Forza Horizon Season Pass) contains a handful of new tracks that will test your skills thanks to the severity of their terrain. Sudden changes in elevation, huge jumps and a wide variety of driving surfaces make for a more intense and unpredictable off-road challenge as you go up against friends and enemies in the new Rivals challenges.

In addition to the new multiplayer rally events, the DLC also includes 5 new cars:

The 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, the 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185, the 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR, the 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale and the 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth. Season Pass owners will also get access to December’s Bonus Pass car, the 2003 Ford SVT Focus which comes with its own set of rally-ready upgrades.

It’s a busy week for Forza Horizon, as the title update also went live today. If you haven’t already downloaded it, the tweaks include corrections to the Forza Motorsport Loyalty Car issue that prevented players who had played Forza 3 and 4 from receiving their free vehicles and improved rumble effects for varying weather and terrain conditions – something that will tie in nicely with the new rally tracks. The vibration slider is also more tunable now, allowing for a finer level of control.

For details on the other fixes and various incoming Forza Horizaon events, see the official website.

Forza Horizon is available now for Xbox 360.
