'Forza Horizon' (X360) Demo Coming Next Week

by Rainier on Oct. 1, 2012 @ 9:55 p.m. PDT

Forza Horizon combines Forza authenticity with a festival atmosphere and the freedom of the open road. It offers an immersive pick-up-and-play, open-road racing experience and features realism, diversity and innovation.

The Forza Horizon demo has been designed to whet fans’ appetite for open world automotive action that will be the centerpiece of the game. In the demo, players will get a chance to experience the Colorado of “Forza Horizon”, driving a number of different cars across a variety of different event types – from Horizon Festival events taking place in the dusty, dirt roads of the upper hills – to a climactic street race that find players winding up, around, and over the fictional Finley Dam.

Several of the events in the “Forza Horizon” demo will automatically become Rivals Mode events after completing them, allowing “Forza” fans to compete against one another to set the fastest time. In addition, players will be able to drive and explore a section of the overall game map to get a feel for the kinds of open-road adventure that is featured in the full version of “Forza Horizon.”

All players who download the “Forza Horizon” demo and then purchase and play the full game will receive a specially designed custom 2013 SRT Viper GTS, which was designed to highlight Forza Horizon’s “gone-gold” status. This rare livery will only be available to those who download the demo and purchase and play the game.

Look for the “Forza Horizon” demo on Oct. 9, available as a free download on Xbox Live (requires Gold member exclusive access during the first week of the demo’s availability).
