In a bold departure from the Forza formula, Forza Horizon introduces street racing to the franchise.  The game focuses on open-world racing set in Colorado.

The game utilizes the same physics honed in the simulation-focused Forza games but pits the mechanics against environmental factors. Racers will not only contend with other cars and curvy mountain roads but also various types of terrain.

Forza Horizon will launch this October.
