The Hot Wheels expansion pack for Forza Horizon 5 has been formally unveiled. The release date has been set on July 19.

The gameplay trailer unveils
The gameplay trailer for the Hot Wheels expansion showed that there was a greater emphasis on speed than in the base game. This was later confirmed through a blog post on Xbox Wire, which stated,
“The new Horizon Hot Wheels Park has some of the fastest, most extreme tracks ever in a Horizon game, including more than 200 kilometres (that’s around 125 miles for our non-metric friends) of twisting, looping iconic orange track.”
The Hot Wheels expansion will have open-world aspects. It will also include new gameplay improvements. Namely, magnet, ice, water flume, and rumbling courses, as was stated in the blog post. In addition to that, it will have four new biomes. These biomes are going to be named as follows: Giant’s Canyon, Ice Cauldron, Forest Falls, and Horizon Nexus.
Buildable maps are another another feature that will be included in one of the next expansions for Hot Wheels. The user may
“design, build, and share your own Hot Wheels adventure with over 80 distinct, snappable track pieces”.
The Xbox and Bethesda presentation had very few items. There items were able to be disclosed publicly before they were leaked online. One of the few things that did so was the Hot Wheels expansion pack. A few days ago, information on the next expansion for Forza Horizon 5 was made public on the game’s website on Steam. This included a piece of key art that demonstrated the game would have yet another collaboration with Hot Wheels. Due to the fact that several Hot Wheels toys were produced in partnership with Forza Horizon prior to the release of the game. It was highly speculated that this would be the case.
