A route creator has been one of the most requested features for Forza Horizon since the open-world racing game series launched in 2012. Those requests are finally answered this week: Forza Horizon 4’s route creator is added in a patch this Thursday, 25th October (as previously announced by Playground Games and confirmed in fresh patch notes today).
The route creator will allow players to create point-to-point and circuit racing routes simply by driving them, “painting” them onto the map with their cars. You can drop checkpoints wherever you like and adjust them for width, and rewind to redraw your route if you’re not happy with a section. You will have to start your route from an existing event start point in the game, but aside from that it can go wherever in the game a car can go – including on top of buildings.
It’s a perfect match for the series’ freeform philosophy, which is one reason players have been asking for it for so long. You can see it working and hear more details from creative director Ralph Fulton in the video below.
