Forza Horizon Box Art and First Screenshot Revealed

 

Forza Horizon has been slowly shuffling into the view of the gaming media, and today we have our first glimpse at an in-game screenshot, as well as the official box art featuring the 2013 SRT Viper.

The teaser trailer (below) snuck out of Microsoft’s Spring Showcase earlier this year, and even though it didn’t feature any in-game footage of said title, it did aim to establish a look and feel to this extremely divergent spin-off from the core realistic racing series.

Coming this fall for Xbox 360, Forza Horizon combines the automotive thrills that Forza fans expect with a gorgeous open-road world that begs to be explored.

 

An Open-Road world? If it’s anything like Test Drive Unlimited, we should be in for a treat, especially since even though the studio behind Forza Horizon, Playground Studios (in collaboration with Turn 10), is a recent establishment, formed in 2009, their staff do include ex-staff from a number of studios including Bizarre Creations (PGR, Blur), Black Rock Studios (Pure, Spit/Second), Slightly Mad Studios (NFS: Shift) , Criterion Games (Burnout, NFS: Hot Pursuit), Rockstar North and Ubisoft Reflections (Driver) among others.

Well certainly be hearing more at Microsoft’s Press Conference at E3 2012 on June 4th.
