Forza Horizon 3 'Blizzard Mountain' Expansion Now Available To Download

Blizzard Mountain Expansion

Winter has well and truly arrived in Forza Horizon 3’s Australia with the release today of the ‘Blizzard Mountain’ expansion.

First heard of back at the end of November the expansion is set within a snow covered, ice laden alpine environment. And in case you were wondering, yes Australia does actually get snow!

The whole point of it all is that players are bidding to become the ‘King of the Mountain’, and they do this by tackling a new campaign featuring over 50 new events and challenges that they will compete in. Being on this sort of surface and the fact it’s a bloody mountain they're doing this on, the addition of new races like Descent, Hill Climb and Blizzard will provide a bit of a new challenge to seasoned players of the vanilla game who may be becoming more used to its surroundings.

After staking their claim as the King of all below them, players can then hunt for and crash through the new bonus boards, locate the beauty spots and see how they fare against others in new Bucket List Blueprint and Rivals events as they chase after the 500 Gamerscore attainable through the 28 new achievements.

Seven new vehicles along with one new Barn Find (so that makes 8!) are there to help players take the crown and are especially set up for the treacherous conditions of the mountain. Front and centre of them all is Ken Block’s Ford Focus RS RX. For the ice-rally fan who wants a bit more of the classic approach though there are two icons of rallying with the Lancia Stratos HF Group 4 and Lancia Delta S4 Group B.

The full list (sans Barn Find) of those contained within the pack is shown below:

Forza Horizon 3 ‘Blizzard Mountain’ - Vehicles

• 1965 Ford F-100 Flareside Abatti Racing Trophy Truck
• 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Group 4
• 1985 Lancia Delta S4 Group B
• 2016 Nissan Titan Warrior Concept
• 2016 RJ Anderson #37 Polaris RZR-Rockstar Energy Pro 2 Truck
• 2016 Subaru #199 WRX STI VT15r Rally Car

If players have a particular vehicle they cannot tear themselves away from in their inventory already then the option to stick on some snow tyres is also there and should see them spending many hours sliding about and possibly falling off from great heights. Now that's a picture we would love to see!

Blizzard Mountain is available now on the Microsoft Store for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. The pack can be bought standalone or as a part of the Expansion Pass.
