Read our full Forza Horizon 2 review.
The latest iteration of Turn 10’s Forza driving franchise, Forza Horizon 2, is coming exclusively to Xbox One on September 30, Microsoft announced Monday morning at its E3 press event.
Building on the powerful graphics engine and social Drivatar system of Forza Motorsport 5, Horizon 2 will expand into a seamless multiplayer experience. Rather than going through lobbies or waiting rooms, booting up the game will bring you directly into the open world of the Horizon music and racing festival. Joining clubs will let you easily link up with your friends to form communities. All of this will take place in a world with dynamic weather and a continuous day/night cycle, fully supported at 1080p for maximum immersion.
Turn 10 also announced another treat for racing fans with a free DLC addition to Forza Motorsport 5. Starting today you can download the Nürburgring track. The 16 mile circuit has been captured down to the millimeter to bring you the most accurate possible experience of the iconic German racetrack.

For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule.
