Cadillac’s Blackwing line of vehicles is set to make its Forza debut next month. The automaker announced today that the powerful CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing will join the roster of vehicles available to play in “Forza Horizon 5” in April.
“The timing couldn’t be better for the V-Series Blackwings to arrive in ‘Forza Horizon 5’,” said Global Vice President of Cadillac Rory Harvey. “Since going on sale in 2021, both V-Series Blackwings have been in high demand, and it’s a thrill to see these iconic sedans come to life in a format that makes them accessible to millions of enthusiasts around the world.”
The cars will join the game as part of the Series 19 update named “Midnights at Horizon.” Each will be offered as its own seasonal reward that players can earn by completing challenges and progressing through the “Forza Horizon 5” seasonal playlists.
