A new line of Hot Wheels model cars will be launched in August, in collaboration with Forza Horizon. Thꦕis line will include the likes of the Mer🉐cedes-Benz A-Class, Corvette C7.R and Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
As spotted by , the news came via acclaimed Hot W🧜heels blog, T-Hunted, which shared a picture of the Porsc🥀he model on it’s . A notable thing about the pack𒊎aging is the desert background, which is in line with news that the next game will be set in Mexico.
A Twitter exchange between VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb and Wi𓆏ndows Central's Jez Corden suggested that the game will not be based in the US, but rather in its neighbour🍷 to the South.
Grubb replied to Corden’s tweet, which sai𒀰d "I really want to visit Mexico some day." In his reply, Grubb used the phrase "El coche va vroom" (meaning "the car goes vroom" in Spanish).
Grub further added to𝔍 the rumour when he went onto the Iron Lords Podcast on May 2 and said, “Let’s start with Forza and the Mexican flag, I wonder what that means.”
“The rumour was always Japan, right?" he added. "I got some fake screenshots a long time ago that I never shared, that were💫 in Japan, and I was like, ‘that’s not real.’ It turned out that wasn’t real." Ultimately, after all the theatrics calmed down, Grubb confidently said, “So yeah, it’s in Mexico.”
The pop🦩ularity of Forza Horizon 4 can’t be queꦏstioned. It became one of the most played racing games on Steam within 24 hours of its release, even though it had been out for three years prior to that. The game reached over 200,000 concurrent players by March 11, beating out the likes of Cyberp❀unk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
