‘Forza Horizon 2’ Checks Out 150 Soundtracks And An Announced Demo
"Forza Horizon 2" isn't just about a wide variety of cars, but once it's released it will also be a hodgepodge of new music and soundtracks to match your every emotion while on the road.
Announced over at the Xbox Wire, Microsoft revealed that the Xbox One title will feature BBC Radio DJ Rob da Bank for the massive music collection for "Forza Horizon 2."
"He [Rob da Bank] did a fantastic job with the original Horizon's radio stations -- people still talk about it as one of the great video game soundtracks -- and this time, we've allowed him to be even more creative," Playground Games creative director Ralph Fulton said to Xbox Wire.
DJ Rob da Bank's work will be showcased in 150 tracks that span over seven stations in "Forza Horizon 2." This is basically two times the number of songs from the first installment of the game. In addition, there are also a number of artists that you can listen to, starting with three Horizon Festival stations when you start the game, and moving on to unlock new stations as you step up and make some progress.
Xbox One players who want to try out the demo for "Forza Horizon 2" will get the chance as Microsoft announced the demo date. According to Gaming Union, the "Forza Horizon 2" demo will arrive on Sept. 16 for the Xbox One, though the Xbox 360 date is still yet to be announced.
Southern Europe will become the venue for the demo, but the developers have not yet revealed exactly what kind of cars will be playable for the demo run. Not only that, Playground Games also revealed the list of achievements that will arrive for "Forza Horizon 2."
