"Your goal is to acquire each of these cars by taking part in a series of automotive challenges inspired by the Fast & Furious films," Microsoft explains in a blog post. These will be the same cars that appear in Furious 7, which hits theaters April 3. The campaign features Fast & Furious star Tej Parker (voiced in the game by Ludacris), who recruits players on a mission to acquire ten cars. Officially called " Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious," the game will be free through April 10. It's a standalone game, meaning it does not require a copy of any previous Forza title to play. 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.The free Forza Horizon 2 spinoff themed around upcoming movie Furious 7 is now available on Xbox One and Xbox 360. “I hope what we’re doing here is a model for what we do in the future.
“It’s kind of been a grand experiment,” said Hartman. While the “Fast & Furious” series has been depicted in a few poorly received console and smartphone games, this partnership is a car pool featuring a couple of dynamos: the “Fast & Furious” film franchise has made more than $2.3 billion at the worldwide box office, and “Forza” games are the most-played racing simulations on the current generation of consoles. Hartman said Universal and the “Fast & Furious” filmmakers provided access to the series’ cars, production designs and footage in order to virtually reconstruct them in “Forza Horizon 2.” He noted that the vehicles in the “Fast & Furious” expansion would be recreations of cars from the film series – right down to their scratches and customized options. We’re building on top of everything we’ve done over the last decade.” When we started talking about this with Universal years ago, it was really about bringing both of our franchise’s strengths to the table.
“We weren’t interested in doing yet another movie-based game,” said Alan Hartman, studio head at Turn 10.
It finally has, and we’re excited to collaborate with Turn 10.” “It was a matter of schedules, capacity and a film coming together at the right time. “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, executive vice president of digital licensing at “Fast & Furious” studio Universal. The game will include such “Furious 7” rides as a 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.
