I'm hoping for it to NOT be Hot Wheels or Lego. They've already doubled up on both of those, going triple on either (or worse, both) would be really way too conservative.
Drifting is getting a really bad rap here in this thread... But I'd WAAAY prefer something expanding and adding some meat to those bones. There's a lot of room there for depth beyond their current approach of scoring by making lots of smoke. Of course, that might have been something more for a Motorsport than Horizon. But honestly, I'd prefer pretty much anything over rehashing Lego or Hot Wheels again. Both of those are franchises that have been done to death even more than Forza Horizon, which is saying something.
Speaking of drifting, though... I joined the Online Drift lobby to get the Countach. And stayed longer than I needed to for the humor. It was a full lobby, and honestly, I had a blast. There were usually 1-3 drivers that really knew what they were doing. Another 2-4 that are like me and at least brought a drift tune and can link a few chains, but also occasionally end up facing the entirely wrong direction somewhere... And then the rest were pure agents of chaos. Monster truck Vipers, stock Hellcats, a drift limo, giant track cuts, missing checkpoints, jumps, barrel rolls, etc. Total circus. Will join again. Probably mostly to get another car next time it comes up in the rotation. But maybe also some other times just for the laughs.
