Sandro Manfredini who is the business director over at Aquiris had this to say for the update announcement,
We couldn’t be more excited to introduce our hometown to the millions of Horizon Chase players. The game concept is to race in some of the most iconic cities in the World, presenting beautiful horizons and genuine aspects to each one of them. So, thinking about the landmarks and choosing what could be the most authentic aspects of our hometown was really fun to do. And the new soundtrack is the best final touch we could do to this Update. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.
The developer’s hometown update is live right now on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and mobile devices.
The update is also bringing new weekly challenges on the mobile version of the game. This will offer a new set of tracks with different rules and challenges every week. Some of the weekly challenges will hand out exclusive rewards to players who complete them, such as new car skins.
If you are unaware of Horizon Chase, it is a modern take on the 90s old school racers inspired by games like Out Run and Top Gear. The game features a unique art direction, with a bright and colorful palette that mixes low-poly environments and highly detailed 2D backgrounds.
