Gamescom 2018: 14 Things We Learned

3. Forza Horizon 4 Will Have A Halo-Themed Event

Though it was leaked earlier in August that Forza Horizon 4 will feature a Halo-themed event map, this was finally confirmed at behind-closed-doors showings during Gamescom.

Reportedly, the map is a hybrid of the Northumberland countryside and the classic Halo map The Silent Cartographer, and what's more, the race will see Cortana playing the part of commentator.

The event will apparently see the locale littered with Halo iconography, while the Warthog itself will be driven by Master Chief. Considering that a lot of games would probably try and charge a DLC fee for this sort of crossover experience, it's fantastic to see it available for everyone upon release.

Could it be the first of many? Wait and see, but even as a one-off, this sounds incredible. Screenshots and gameplay will apparently be made available soon, but sadly nothing surfaced during Gamescom week.
