Forza Horizon 5 doubles down on EventLab with the newest update: Horizon Creatives. We want your creations to be the star of the Horizon Festival, so we’re introducing new EventLab upgrades to get your creativity racing and inspire you to create the events you’ve always imagined.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1551360/Forza_Horizon_5/

[h2]New features to discover and experiment with in EventLab 2.0 [/h2]

While EventLab regularly receives new props for players to include in their creations, we are now adding exciting new features that will let you bring your wildest ideas to reality with an update we are calling EventLab 2.0.

[h3]Selection Mode[/h3]


As in everything racing related: faster is better. So, to make your creating process much more agile, we have created the new Selection Mode.

This new multi-selection mode will let you grab a number of individual props and then rotate them, move them around, and duplicate them. Not only will this make your creating process more efficient, but you will also be able to reuse groups of props you previously put together without having to start from scratch each time you need them.

Multi-selection will also let you clone, move, and delete props in mass selection, reducing the time you will spend creating courses for events.

[h3]Prefabs [/h3]


Prefabs are an assortment of props saved together to make a new mega prop. You can save any prop you have created as a Prefab and share it with other players worldwide.

You can also search among the creations of other players to find the most ideal custom props to fit your event. Perhaps you’ll even stumble upon an interesting idea that sparks the creation of a new race or game mode! Prefabs will be added to the existing Creative Hub menu with features like share codes, number of downloads and in-game credits payouts. You will even be able to browse Prefabs in the Blueprint Builder which will save you a lot of time!

With Prefabs you can share your custom prop creations to inspire other creators in our community. In addition to this, we have added a feature that will let you bookmark your favorite or most used props so you can find them even quicker.

[h3]Custom Flyers [/h3]


Previously when creating a new event on EventLab, the promotional flyer would automatically generate based on the car restrictions you set among other details. This meant that other players would not see how your event looked until they decided to download and play it.

This all changes with EventLab 2.0. You can now replace the predetermined flyer with a photo taken of your event. This allows creators to better represent their EventLab Blueprint, while for you and your friends, it’ll now be easier and faster to discover fun new events to play.

This is made even better by the ability to browse more than 15 events in the event browser, as players can now scroll through multiple pages of community-created blueprints.

[h3]EventLab Island [/h3]


New features deserve an amazing new place to be experimented at. EventLab Island is a brand-new location specifically for creating EventLab content. It comprises of a 2km x 2km flat concrete platform surrounded by ocean.

Since EventLab Island is its own separate location, you will be able to add more props to each event you create within it thanks to an increased prop budget.

EventLab Island can be accessed through its own icon on the in-game map. Click on it, and you will be transported to the island. Look for the activation point and start creating!

[h3]New Props [/h3]


The EventLab 2.0 update wouldn’t be complete without new props. We have added a petrol station, a variety of shapes (Cone, Cube, Cylinder, Pyramid, Sphere, Torus, Wedge), and different types of surfaces you can implement into your custom maps. These include snow, grass, asphalt, and more.

Some of our existing props have received attachment nodes so they are now easier to move around and, more importantly, snap together. There are three different node sizes: small, medium, and large. The original nodes included in the Hot Wheels content were “large” and designed for Hot Wheels track pieces, while these new smaller-sized nodes will work much better with smaller props.

You will also be able to style up your checkpoint markers with different styles such as street race flares.

What’s more, EventLab 2.0 lets you set the exact time-of-day and weather conditions while your map is being created. This means you will see your creation in the exact conditions that you intend for players to experience it. For example, if you want to design a night-time race, you will see how it looks as you build it.

[h2]What’s Next [/h2]

The Horizon Festival turns orange as Dia de Muertos arrives next month. Enjoy the traditional spooky season as you cruise through Mexico during one of its most iconic holidays behind the wheel of Forza Horizon 5’s most requested car. Stay tuned for more details in October!
