Hide And Seek Is Coming To Forza Horizon 5
When was the last time you played hide and seek? Unless you have kids, weâll presume âquite a long time agoâ. Well, better dust off those skills â youâll soon be able to play the childhood classic in an unexpected way.
Set to arrive as a free update for Forza Horizon 5 on 10 September, âHide and Seekâ is exactly as it sounds. Youâre either going into hiding and trying to reach a safe zone without being found, or youâre on the hunt for those in cover.
Sounds pretty basic, and quite honestly with some committed friends, plus a bit of organisation and discipline you could probably do that in the game anyway. Thereâs a little more to it than that, though.
Forza Horizon 5, Hide and Seek
If youâre on the team of hiders, youâll have four minutes to remain undercover â be that finding a secluded spot or hiding in plain sight among regular traffic. Once that phase is up, and if you havenât been caught, a randomly spawned âEnd Zoneâ appears which youâll need to make a dash for.
Those seeking will have a âdetection meterâ which youâll need to fill by following and finding hiders to win the game.
There are a few power-ups to spice things up, too. Chasers can use a radar which gives an approximate location for those in hiding, while using a ping once youâve found someone locks onto a target and shows them on the map to the rest of your team for 20 seconds.
To counteract that, hiders will have a âChase Breakerâ, which forces seekers to brake and deactivate any active radar or ping in use for 20 seconds. Youâll also be ghosted, allowing you to pass through smashable objects. All of them have a cooldown period, which should keep things interesting.
There are no major prizes at stake, rather youâll get some bonus XP and some badges you can unlock. Some Xbox Achievements will also be added in a separate update.
