Forza Horizon 5 Series 5 is the next major update coming to the hugely successful open-world racer. Series 4 is currently in full flow, offering another four seasons of content complete with a bevy of new cars to unlock. With over 15 million players to keep entertained, Playground Games have got plenty of content up their sleeves to keep players engaged. But players will always have one eye on what's coming next, so with that in mind, here's everything you need to know about Forza Horizon 5 Series 5.

This is sort of interesting (via gtplanet.net) and potentially a little tease for something to come in Series 5.

Playground Games has posted a teaser on their Twitter channel which is supposedly for a car coming to the game in the future as a reward vehicle. But it's been done as a Wordle puzzle (see below).

*spoiler warning*

For anyone who can't be bothered to work it out themselves, the answer to the puzzle is “NISMO” which is a motorsports subsidiary of the more well-known manufactuer Nissan. Still, it doesn't narrow the pool sufficiently to say what car this is for. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long to discover precisely what model from the Nismo range Playground Games intends to add. Watch this space.

When Does Forza Horizon 5 Series 5 Start?

At the time of writing, Playground Games has not announced a release date for Series 4. However, a quick look at the previous start and end times for Series 1 to 4 leaves no confusion as to when to expect the next series of content.

As the table shows, every new series begins on a Thursday and also the same day as when the previous series ends. With this in mind, the Forza Horizon 5 Series 4 start time is currently set for March 3, 2022.

Based on past series, we expect to see a release time of 6:30 AM PT / 9:30 AM ET / 2:30 PM GMT / 3:30 PM CET.

Forza Horizon 5 Series 5 Cars

At the time of writing, there's no confirmation on what cars could be added to Series 5.

Series 4 focussed heavily on the Chinese New Year with a series of cars added from Chinese Manufacturers, but there's no telling what the next season could bring. As per usual we can expect plenty of new cars released across Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring, on top of the four cars available for Car Pass owners (added DLC that delivers new cars to your game weekly, one per week.).

Hopefully, we'll see some teasers well before the next Let’s Go! Forza Horizon 5 livestream.

Forza Horizon 5 Series 5 Rewards & Events

With the next season being over 3 weeks away there's limited information on what to expect from Series 5.

Once again though, the game's "Coming Soon" page does detail a few teasers on what to expect from the next series. This includes a new Stunt Park world event, a party-themed world makeover (at least based on the balloon icon), and some new PR Stunts.

We imagine we'll learn more on what to expect in the week before release on the next Let’s Go! livestream.
