Remember when you were a kid, doing vroom-vroom noise when pushing your Hot Wheels down flexible orange running track? Back before taxes or time clocks, the days of childhood. What if you could go back? Play with the same cars, discover the same tracks? How many bones as a child? What if a video game could help you?
Today we will try. Today is the release date for Forza Horizon 5Hot Wheels DLC, with new areas to explore and cars flipping over wide swaths of the orange track. The game even makes vroom-vroom noise for you.
Hot Wheels content is the main platform of Forza Horizon but it’s not my main game. You see, instead of engaging in any kind of plot, making any kind of progression, or interacting with the world in any meaningful way, my Forza play style best summed up by a funny ex-girlfriend: “You just love driving cars.”
I play Forza for real cars in real-life situations where I can test, tune and make small suspension adjustments to setup fastest lap time possible. I am not here for elements of fantasy, or means that cannot reasonably exist in the real world. So no Hot Wheels song and no Hot Wheels car for me.
Today, however, all that has changed. Your loyal #Gamers, Adam Ismail and I, will be participating Horizon 5New Mexico expanded to explore all new Hot Wheels themed languages. Our usual cast of characters will all be there: Andy Kalmowitz and José Rodríguez Jr will be there to admire the scene and laugh at the incidents.
Hang out on our Twitch channel at 4 p.m. Eastern time, and let’s reminisce about those younger days. Vroom-vroom Optional noise, but recommended.
