Forza Horizon 3's Snow Expansion Will Be Here In Two Weeks And It Sounds Awesome

Thanks to a cheeky teaser dropped a few weeks ago, we’ve known that the ladies and gents at Playground Games have been cooking up a snowy expansion pack for Forza Horizon 3. After an announcement today, we know exactly what’ll be in it.

It adds a whole new area “set amidst extreme alpine settings,” promising “snow, ice, extreme elevations”. Can I get a hell yes?

It’ll come with 50 new events including “Hill Climb, Descent and Blizzard” races. The overall goal? To become King of the Mountain.

Special snow tires will be added to the upgrade shop, with the aim of letting you take on a “wide range of thrilling driving surfaces”. What we’re not sure of is whether or not that wide range includes roads that aren’t caked in snow. One of our biggest bugbears about FH3 is the lack of twisty, undulating roads, so it’d be a shame if this new mountain environment was about snowy tomfoolery and nothing else.

Still, snowy tomfoolery does sound fun, and there’ll be a new range of cars to muck about in, which we’ve listed below:

1965 Ford F-100 Flareside Abatti Racing Trophy Truck
1975 Lancia Stratos HF Group 4
1985 Lancia Delta S4 Group B
2016 Nissan Titan Warrior Concept
2016 RJ Anderson #37 Polaris RZR-Rockstar Energy Pro 2 Truck
2016 Subaru #199 WRX STI VT15r Rally Car

Sound tempting? You’re looking at $34.99 (Ultimate Edition owners get a $10 discount) for a pass which includes this and another as-yet unnamed expansion, although it will be available individually.
