I'm more interested in the zany expansions like Hot Wheels and Lego, but it's a bit disappointing for it to not be a new zany theme.

Scalextric when.

Will be interesting to see if there is a heavier emphasis on the track building aspect now with EventLabs being a thing in FH5.

Bit of a let down, would've liked to see a new island or city-based location for a first expansion.

Kinda lame it's not a new partnership but if they had to repeat one, Hot Wheels was definitely the best choice.

I wasn't sure whether these would be included in the premium add-ons bundle I bought at launch to complement GP. That's great.

Hopefully they do another LEGO one too.

Horizon 3's expansion was awesome (from what I played of it, busy guy). I'm thrilled folks who missed it can play this new one.

Dream would be a Motorstorm Apocalypse kind of DLC with more crazy dynamic weather effects, I hope we get something like that for expansion 2.

This rules, I love Forza Horizon 3's Hot Wheels expansion. Hopefully this one is even better. Weird that they're doing the "wacky" expansion first though, unless the second expansion is even crazier.

Maybe they'll do a Minecraft crossover or something that'd be cool

The Hot Wheels expansion for Horizon 3 is the best DLC in the series so this is fucking rad! Hopefully they went even bigger with this one. I'll be spending a lot of time there.

I'm pumped for this. Hot Wheels in 3 was the best expansion they ever did, so I'm definitely down for more. LEGO was awful. Not sure why anyone would want more of that — pure window dressing. Hot Wheels changes the game.

Not the same again with a series that's already so iterative. What a poor decision.

i liked hot wheels, but i think i had my fill with it in FH3, so this is hopefully this is significantly more wild to make it more interesting

My first thought was a little disappointment as it's a repeat but if they go all out with the track editor stuff then this could be really cool.

Part of the appeal of the original Hot Wheels expansion was that there wasn't a great Hot Wheels game in a long time and it felt fresh

now we've had that expansion and Hot Wheels Unleashed, both of which are fantastic.

Hot Wheels in 3 was much much more fun than the Lego expansion in 4.

I support this, assuming it's just as wild and imaginative.

Edit: though this is a little weird for the first expansion, right? I thought they did a "normal" one first, before the weird (aka fun) one.

Really surprised at some of the negativity.

This is the best news as far as I'm concerned, really can't wait. The FH3 DLC was the best time I'd had with FH. But then I just love the arcade vibes.

I thought Unleashed was overrated and a bit meh all round, so really couldn't care less that it launched recently. Much more excited for this.

They might have some data showing that their collab/weird expansions do way better than the normal ones. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided just to do two collab expansions this time.

I'll be honest... I never really played much of the first (more-grounded) expansions to the Horizon games... but the Hot Wheels and LEGO ones? I'm there all day

It makes sense as this alllows them to partner with also selling hot wheels cars on stores with the forza brand

Heck yeah,
sequel to the best Forza Horizon expansion. Can't wait to see how it looks and plays this time. I hope they have some cool new features, like track building.

I imagine expansion 2 will be a new creative theme. A Micro Machines open-house would be an amazing one.

Think their tools are better now to create it. And they thought, how great the FH3 version was. We can do better.

Maybe a little disappointed that it's hot wheels again but it was a fantastic dlc in 3. Can't wait.
