Forza Horizon 4 revealed at E3 2018 - Xbox's next racing blockbuster is set in the UK

Microsoft has kicked off E3 2018 by announcing the next game in the Forza Horizon series will be set in the UK.

Forza Horizon 4 will launch on October 2nd, 2018 and will be available for both Xbox One and Windows PC.

Gamers were confident the game would be revealed as the open-world Forza Horizon titles tend to alternate yearly with the track-focused Forza Motorsport ones.

As well as setting the game in the UK, this will be the first Forza game with a fully online world that's shared by other players in real time.

Developer Playground Games also revealed that Horizon 4 will bring in dynamic seasons that will change the environment and the racing requirements for online players.

Car fans will be pleased to see an impressive roster of British classics in the line-up, including a McLaren Senna hypercar and the London Black Cab.

A gameplay demo at the announcement showed cars hurtling through a variety of different landscapes. Rolling fields and wooden tracks looked as stunning as ever while the featured city of Edinburgh popped with detail.

Naturally, the game has been given an extra lick of paint for owners of the powerful Xbox One X console. The game will run in 4K and there will be a 60-frames-per-second mode for Microsoft's top-tier console.

Subscribers to the monthly Xbox Game Pass will get access to Forza Horizon 4 when it launches for free.
