The lights are bright and the highway long, the Neon Highway shows up at the Horizon Festival to set the retro mood for the series.

Going for a drive on the Neon Highway, you’ll spot tons of different decorations all with a sweet neon groove. Take a look at the neon rails, palm trees, and tank mascots scattered around the highway as you drive.

The vibes and mood aren’t the only thing the Neon Highway has; its decorations will be synched to the song playing on your in-game radio, so go for a drive and change your station to see how the highway fits your mood.

Find these new decorations on the Highway near “The Marathon” event.

The Neon Highway isn’t the only part of the map getting flashy this series; neon decorations from Midnight at Horizon are coming back to races featured on series 34, and the extended night cycles are coming back with them to get a better view of all the neon lights shining through the Festival.



Drive to the right side of the Stadium, close to “The Marathon” event and take a look at the neon-fueled drone show brought to you this series.

A big, bright sun made by drones will set on the edge of the Neon Highway for you to gaze at for a completely retro experience.

Use this setting and event to score some amazing pictures and to dampen yourself with the retrowave coming for the next four weeks.



The lights are set, and the location is vibing; get the complete Retrowave experience with the brand-new radio station coming to Forza Horizon 5.

All the style and ambiance of the Retrowave could not stay on the Highway and decorations alone; we have also added a suit drenched with a vintage feel.

We are currently developing WANDERER and implementing several new mechanics! Have also started to create new cover art for Steam - we want to make it even more hot 🔥 Below you can see some sketches:



💧 SAD NEWS NOW (queue the rain): We've decided to postpone the release of WANDERER: Broken Bed to Early Access on Steam until September 😿 Yeah, yeah, we are crying and it pains us to announce this too, because we wanted to get it done as soon as possible so you could enjoy our updated remastered version. But during development we had to realize that REMASTERED version of our game is not a small affair and we need much more time to implement + debug all the new mechanics in the game than we had previously planned for it in December.

〰️ This decision was made first of all because we want to release a quality product already at the Early Access release, because we understand that WANDERER deserves the best optimization, without bugs! That's why we, as game developers, prioritize releasing quality games, even if it's later - it's better than releasing a bad product on time 〰️

⚠️ IMPORTANT MESSAGE: We will continue to release builds on Boosty for subscribers during the summer. Also we will update the demo on Steam soon, where the prologue will be available on a new engine and with better optimization.
