Halo Legacy is coming to Forza Horizon 5's Horizon Festival with new accessories and EventLab options. Playground Games has announced no less than the largest EventLab prop pack ever in gaming.
These are different elements from the famous Halo franchise, which is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year. Save the human race from extinction with 71 accessories from the Halo universe coming to Forza Horizon 5 this month.
Some of the most recognizable structures from the Halo saga are coming to the game, and have been provided by Halo Studios directly from Halo's Forge mode. Here are some of the items available soon:

While players eagerly await the announcement of Forza Horizon 6, Microsoft recently announced an organizational change within Halo developers and the license. 343 Industries has become Halo Studios and the next Halo game will be developed under Unreal Engine 5.
This decision marks a significant turning point in the development of the series, which has long been associated with its in-house engine. The development team wishes to benefit from the technological and graphic advances offered by Unreal Engine 5, making it possible to modernize future titles in the series.
The move to Unreal Engine 5 is being touted as an opportunity to improve the visual quality and gameplay of Halo games. Developers plan to use this engine's new features, such as Lumen for dynamic lighting and Nanite for geometric details, to create more immersive and realistic environments. This could also make the development process easier and allow for better optimization of games for different platforms.
This change comes as the Halo series seeks to renew itself after mixed reviews of its recent titles. The future looks bright with this new technological direction, although questions remain about how this will impact the series' traditional identity and gameplay.
