We were rather taken by retro-racer Horizon Chase Turbo when it power-slid onto the Switch in November last year. Brazillian developer Aquiris really brought the classic arcade racing games of yesteryear bang up to date, making this an essential purchase.
The lovely folks over at Aquiris still have unfinished business with Horizon Chase Turbo, however, and have revealed their ambitious roadmap for the game. Lots of new exciting features are planned for the second half of 2019.
Let's take a look at what they're cooking up:
PLAYGROUND MODE 2.0
In addition to be the fastest, win and lead the ranking, now players have another good reason to check into our Playground Mode: get exclusive prizes. Collecting coins in a new scoring system they will gain access to new skins in special seasons.
NEW DLCsHorizon Chase Turbo already brings hours and hours of fun and speed, but for the hardcore retroracers it's never enough. Thinking of them, we are working on new DLCs with new cars, new campaigns and more.
NEW GAME MODESWhen it comes to designing upgrades, granting fun for the gamer always gets the pole position. Our team analyzes players behavior within the game and their thoughts on social media. Thus we get insights for new ideas and upgrades. There are surprises right ahead, you can count on it!
We love it when developers continue to update their games to make them the very best they can be, even a year or so after release. Let us know if you're excited about these future updates with a comment below.

Fun game. Glad to see continued support.
Played for a bit and was having fun until I came across a bug that was seemingly going to prevent me from ever being able to 100% the game so I didn't make it that far.
I forgot this released...
Will buy the game as soon as I can.
I'm awaiting that sweet sweet physical release in July
@BenAV What bug is that? You should tell the devs on Twitter, they are pretty active there.
Even though I'm not a big fan of racing games, I really liked Horizon Chase. I usually play one, two races per day so this game is lasting a long time for me, which is great.
cool can't wait for new dlc! just what i needed after completing the game a few months ago.
I have bought it twice - ios & android. I'm tempted to buy for a third time if they include more stages, game modes, etc.
One of the best arcade racers nowadays. I liked it more than all these simulation annoying racers..
Very exciting. One of my favourite games on Switch. They've done some interviews recently on Facebook with Barry Leitch who did the awesome soundtrack.
Great news. I'm still playing this regularly, it's become one of my go-to games for short breaks. Playground is fun but would certainly benefit from having some rewards built in, and I wouldn't say no to more tracks even though I haven't played all the existing tracks yet. I just hope all of the DLC isn't on the extreme tough end. Most of the later tracks are already absolutely bonkers.
This is a great little homage to old school racers, i’ve been thoroughly enjoying it, getting through the carnage at the beginning of the race is vital later in the game...nice to know they’re adding extras.
Nice game but after update 1.0.5 it constantly asks to turn off Flight Mode throughout the game, especially when just starting a race!
Sent devs a message via twitter and email from support page online.
Hope they fix this as not always connected to internet.
I have yet to invest in this game, but I'm hoping when I sample this on GameFly it'll win me over.
Love this game, will totally buy DLC packs, especially if they mean new cars.
This game is a lot of fun with a ton of content already. I'm certainly up for more though, because I'm greedy like that.
@nzretro the patch is ready to go out with the next update, we are waiting for Nintendo's approval. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Love ❤️ this game!! Bring it on especially more courses to race!! 👍😁
Hope the physical includes the dlc.
Awesome excited for the physical release!🙌
Great game! To me it provides an F-Zero style of buzz because the essence is holding maximum speed to win and using boosts wisely. My only complaint is mirror mode. Who gives a crap about turning left instead of right? Mario Kart suffers for this daft idea too. The better option is reverse mode. On a game like HCT, it's a simple addition. Mario Kart would need cannons and stuff to get you across ravines. A smaller complaint is the game occasionally drops in framerate, often with a judder. These are often at innocuous points on a course, so I'm not sure the reason. Oh, fonts! When will Switch developers, especially for ports like this, realise small text is near impossible to read in portable mode.
I went back to this game this past weekend to snag some more super trophies and I totally forgot how awesome it is. New content would definitely be appreciated!
This is great news. I kinda hope they make the game easier, or maybe a way I could grind for increased car stats. There's honestly nothing wrong with the difficulty level, but it can seem like it is too hard when I feel like I've learned a track yet still only achieve 3rd or 2nd place. But overall this is simply a fantastic game, up there with Mario Kart 8 and Beach Buggy Racing (which is a wonderful game partly because it has 4 player split screen that runs at a rock solid 60 frames per second!).
Very cool, where's that physical release at?
@60frames-please yeah i do the same, i can think i've done a pretty much perfect race, every corner held perfectly and still never get better than 3rd.
@Fake-E-Lee That's a shame, its just got a 40% discount, today!
@BenAV Yes, please, reach us @horizonchaseturbo.
