One of the most anticipated games of 2021 is undoubtedly Forza Horizon 5, which arrives later this year courtesy of Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios. Ahead of FH5's imminent release, Playground has begun the long journey of teases and information reveals, culminating in a new trailer during the Xbox Gamescom 2021 event. Players can now check out what the initial drive in Forza Horizon 5 is all about with a new gameplay trailer, which looks expectantly incredible for a game expected to launch into our list of best Xbox racing games.
The new Forza Horizon 5 gameplay trailer showcases the game's opening moments, which will have players take control of a variety of vehicles, from the extensive Forza Horizon 5 car list, that have literally been airdropped from cargo planes onto different areas of the Forza Horizon 5 map. At the end, players will take control of the powerful Mercedes-AMG Project ONE supercar to race to the first Horizon Festival site in Forza Horizon 5. The trailer looks great, and is suitably intense for the most ambitious Forza Horizon game yet. You can watch the trailer above, or check out additional images below.
