Forza 5: 'Diverse' range of DLC planned, including 'wild cards'

4.7
Turn 10 Studios plans to a release a "diverse" range of DLC for Xbox One launch title Forza 5.

Studio head Dan Greenawalt told OXM that Turn 10 intends to update modes and events to support wilder DLC possibilities post-release.

"The game is very configurable," he said. "So we can add new tools and road locales and regions for like a van class. I think the diversity is a big part of our strength. We have incredible depth across multiple axes. We have the depth of our garage diversity - we do traditionally have SUVs, cars, trucks, racecars, all sorts.

"We have the diversity in manufacturers - it's not like we have 75 of some given manufacturer, we tend to really spread our bed across a lot of manufacturers. And we have a diversity of depth across time, because we do monthly updates of cars, because the car industry is always changing.

"So being able to do monthly cars allows us to do wild cards like the transit van," Greenawalt added. "And it's not like it was a strategy like 'let's add wild things later' - it just happens. We get interest in it, we talk as a team. The nice thing is the game is so configurable that we can add things at will. We can add ten cars a month, just constantly releasing stuff, and the game will rearrange itself.

"As far as the actual architecture allowing us to deliver more [DLC], I wouldn't say that was the case - it's the frequency. We're very agile now with how we can deliver. "

Greenawalt confirmed earlier this week that the racer will not be operable unless users download a mandatory day-one Forza 5 patch. His explanation was that content has been added late into the production schedule.

Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox One will be available in 21 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £425 / €499 / $499.

Sometimes I just don't know what else they can do to a game like Forza, It's just a racing game how many different things other then new cars and tracks can you have? I can't wait to see the graphics on it though.

The Forza games have always come with a wide range of DLC, with Forza 5 on the Xbox One, it will be interesting to see how intricate the DLC will be.

It's more or less the same case with me, while i really like the Forza Franchise in a general sense i won't have much of a chance to play this as i am getting a PS4. I'll defiantly be playing this at a friends house though

The graphics on Forza 5 certainly look awesome. I also hope that many aspects of the gameplay will be greatly improved from 4 and Horizon. I am personally really looking forward to it.

i can't remember what Forza i got but i did not like the arrows on the track... it took away all the fun of driving...

You can always disable the arrows.
