Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious Coming as a Standalone Expansion

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is a standalone DLC expansion for Turn 10 and Playground Games racer that will tie-in with Universal Pictures popular movie series featuring fast cars, bikini-clad ladies and musclebound meatheads.

The expansion is set prior to the events of Furious 7, the latest instalment in the movie franchise due for release in cinemas in 3rd April, and will be available ahead of the film's release date. What's more, it'll be completely free to download until 10th April as promotion for the movie and doesn't require a copy of Forza Horizon 2 to play.

"We've been talking with the folks at Turn 10 for a number of years and have always wanted to work together," said Bill Kispert, Universal's Executive VP of Digital Licensing. "It was a matter of schedules, capacity and a film coming together at the right time. It finally has, and we're excited to collaborate with Turn 10."

Forza Horizon Presents Fast & Furious sees you playing as a driver in France who must source a number of vehicles for Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges' character, Tej Parker. These include iconic rides like the classic 1970 Dodge Charger R/T driven by Vin Diesel's character Dominic Toretto. The 1998 Toyota Supra, 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, 2012 Nissan GT-R, 1970 Plymouth Cuda, 2013 Jeep Wrangler, 2014 Maserati Ghibli S and 2015 Dodge Charger will also feature.

"It's kind of been a grand experiment," said Hartman. "I hope what we're doing here is a model for what we do in the future. It's been a great relationship, and I don't want to end it after this, so we'll see what's possible in the future."

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious will be available from 27th March for Xbox One and Xbox 360, and will be free to download until 10th April, after which time it'll cost $9.99/£7.99.

Free games are always worth a look

Nice find, will keep an eye out for this

This sounds fun if it wasn't partnered with horizon two I would be a bit sceptical but as it is I'm quite interested
