Starting today, Forza Motorsport 6 allows players to download 2 vehicles themed around Fallout 4 , beginning with a Vault-Tec inspired 1956 Ford F100 truck.
Turn 10 Studios has announced that they are planning to release two Fallout 4 themed cars for its racing simulation game, Forza Motorsport 6 . Releasing today November 4th, 6 days before the release of Bethesda’s latest post-apocalyptic role-playing game, Forza Motorsport players will have access to a 1956 Ford F100, styled after the Fallout franchise.
The truck’s design consists of a rusted version of Vault-Tec’s iconic blue and yellow color scheme and features the company’s mascot Vault Boy on the doors. According to developers Turn 10, the “retro-futuristic Vault-Tec themed Fallout 4 F100 will be sent to all Forza 6 players in celebration of the game’s launch.”
Xbox released the following trailer for the F100 today, suggesting that players take it for a spin to celebrate the release of Fallout 4 next week. The trailer contains footage of the car in-game as well as a still image of the game’s second Fallout themed car at the end.
A Chrysler Rocket coupe – described as “the future of speed” – will also be available to players soon but more information on the second car is yet to be released. The two cars will add to the game’s already impressive roster of vehicles. Forza Motorsport 6 is not the first in its series to contain a vehicle that is based on a video game as Motorsport 4 contained a non-drivable Warthogfrom the Halo franchise in an effort to advertise Halo 4 .
Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda Game Studios commented:
“Everyone asks us if you can drive the cars in Fallout 4 , and now we can say yes – in Forza , our favorite racing game”
This is not the first example of Bethesda’s intuitive marketingfor Fallout 4 and over the last few weeks we’ve seen many attempts at advertising the upcoming role-playing game, including yesterday’s release of the Fallout C.H.A.T. appwhich adds a range of Fallout emoji and GIFs to Android and iOS mobile devices.
Fallout 4 , which set to release on November 10th, has been drawing a lot of attention online as some crafty fans have managed to get their hands on early copies, leading to a significant amount of footage and details leakingall over the internet. To further add to the excitement, Bethesda have just released a number of screenshots, highlighting the post-apocalyptic RPG’s lighting, environment and weather effectsin the Boston wasteland.
The Vault-Tec themed 1956 Ford F100 is available today, November 4th for Forza Motorsport 6 . See our review of the racing game here.
