Forza Horizon 2’s first 100 cars include the ’63 VW Microbus and ’45 Jeep Willys MB

Read our full Forza Horizon 2 review.

Playground Games and Microsoft have revealed the first 100 (of just over 200) cars featured in the upcoming Xbox exclusive, Forza Horizon 2. Horizon is the more laid-back, open world cousin of the Forza Motorsport franchise, and this iteration further refines the powerful engine introduced in the Xbox One launch title, Forza Motorsport 5.

In addition to the cutting-edge 2015 Lamborghini Huracán that was first revealed with the game, you will be able to collect, customize, and drive a diverse array of cars of all stripes. The’ve all been built from the ground up in the new engine to achieve maximum verisimilitude with exciting new features like functioning windshield wipers, interior lights, and dynamic dirt-mapping.

The developer post highlights a few of the 100 newly revealed cars to underline the vastly different driving experiences possible within the game. If Horizon 2‘s southern European setting has you pining for days past when European sports cars were king, take a spin in the classic 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE.

Less concerned with speed and just looking to have a good time with your friends? Cruise around in a 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe microbus and solve a few mysteries and/or start a Beatles-inspired murder commune.

Maybe you’re sick of all that fancy-schmancy European design and just want some utilitarian, American engineering? Then buckle up, soldier, and head off-road in the 1945 Jeep Willys MB. While you’re scouring Europe for remaining Nazis, contemplate that the jeep apparently took its name from a trans-dimensional jungle dog that would help Popeye.

Star Wars: Zero Company is an ambitious blend of XCOM meets RPG for newcomers
Star Wars Zero Company

Star Wars: Zero Company has been officially unveiled at Star Wars Celebration Japan and will launch sometime in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The game combines the gritty tactics of XCOM with the rich lore of the Star Wars universe. Set among the final period of the Clone Wars, Zero Company doesn't shy away from punishing difficulty but also aims to introduce new players to the tactics genre.

“Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay,” said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. “It’s our aim to deliver a game with an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era that has meaningful outcomes from player choices, and deep turn-based tactical combat with an approachable and cinematic presentation.”

Assassin’s Creed Shadows appears to have been rated for the Nintendo Switch 2
Yasuke and Naoe in fighting stances in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

The Pan European Game Information website, better known as PEGI, just rated Assassin's Creed Shadows for the Nintendo Switch 2 — and that's a pretty solid indication the game could make its way to the console either at or after its June 5 launch. That said, it's also possible that someone simply clicked the wrong checkbox on the backend of the site and that Ubisoft has no intention of porting the game to the Switch 2, so take this with a grain of salt.

PEGI is basically the European version of the ESRB, responsible for suggesting the appropriate target age for a game. If you go to the specific page for Assassin's Creed Shadows, it doesn't list the Nintendo Switch 2, but if you look at the "Most Searched Games" subhead, it shows up there.

Fortnite is getting another Star Wars tie-in, this time with Jar Jar Binks
Star Wars in Fortnite

Fortnite's next Battle Pass is Star Wars themed (and appropriately dubbed Galactic Battle), and it will be here in less than two weeks on May 2. It also adds Darth Jar Jar, so get ready for a lot of "mesa winner" jokes in the near future. The news broke during Star Wars Celebration and included a lot of details about what the new additions might bring, including adding Force Lightning as an in-game ability.

Besides Death Jar Jar, other skins like Emperor Palpatine can also be unlocked through the Battle Pass. In addition, there are mashups with existing Fortnite characters like the Wookie Cuddle Team Leader (who doesn't want to cuddle a Wookie?) and more. Players can purchase a Mace Windu skin through the Item Shop and also utilize new vehicles like the TIE Fighter and X-Wing.
