The prologue of Forza Horizon 4 is the tutorial and introductory chapter of the title, showcasing all four seasons with four driving scenarios and leading to the Horizon Summer festival, along with describing the controls to the player.
Introduction[]
Players start off in the autumn season driving the McLaren Senna to a waterfall. Upon reaching their destination, the prologue changes to the winter season, featuring an offroad race to a frozen lake with the #37 RJ Anderson Pro 2 Truck. The third event puts the player in a #14 GRC Fiesta racing against dirt bikers in the spring season, mirroring the spring showcase.
In the final event, the prologue changes to the summer season and the player driving the McLaren Senna to the festival site. Once there, the driver of the car is revealed to be Keira - the director of the Horizon Festival - whom introduces herself and former champion Rebecca to the player after they have selected their character. Finally, the player may choose between the Ford Focus RS, Audi TTS Coupé or Dodge Charger R/T as their first car before editing their license plate and entering the Road Racing Series of the Horizon Summer festival.
