Playground Games Forza Horizon 4 Environment Art Blast
Nearly four months ago we released Forza Horizon 4 and are amazed and humbled by its reception.
The Horizon series is known for its authenticity and attention to detail. Our mission has always been to not only recreate the world around us, but make it better, more vibrant, more evocative and more colourful. We call this “Horizon Beauty”.
This time we had the luxury of basing the game in our own backyard, Britain! Throughout the year we captured the sweeping changes and the subtle nuances that Britain has to offer in each of the seasons. Along with our in-depth observations and reference, the team was also able to draw upon their own personal experiences.
This Art Blast showcases the passion, dedication, and talent of this amazing team. We hope it will inspire both the artist and player within you and invite you to join our adventure.
