Blue sky retro arcade racer Horizon Chase Turbo will celebrate the career of F1 legend Ayrton Senna in a new expansion due out on 20th October. The appropriately titled Senna Forever – which will cost $5.99, with profits donated to Ayrton Senna’s Institute educational programs – will debut an “entirely new set of cars, tracks, and features”.
Among these is the ability to play in first-person and create race strategies, as you work through five nostalgic chapters. Championship Mode will feature 18 different teams with more than 30 cars to unlock, and you’ll be able to enjoy the entire experience either alone or with up to three other friends in local split-screen multiplayer.
“Horizon Chase Turbo was born as a tribute to the classic racing games of the 80s and 90s,” said Aquiris’ Sandro Manfredini. “Back then, many of us were just kids who, among other things, played video games and watched races with our families in the living room. We could not even imagine that one day we would play a game whose character would be the great champion of those unforgettable Sundays: Ayrton Senna.”
The screenshots rekindle fond memories of old 16-bit SEGA games, like Super Monaco GP or something. We suspect this will be a ton of fun for F1 enthusiasts and arcade racing fans alike.

Randomly came across this trailer last night and was pleasantly surprised with the look of it. I’ll definitely be getting it.
This looks freaking awesome. Played the heck out of Horizon World Tour so will snap this up ASAP.
Yep may have to go back to this then. Enjoyed the game first time round and serious love to Ayrton so guess this is aimed at me!
While HCT is clearly very much aimed at me I found it a surprisingly empty experience and quickly drifted away from it. I could never quite put my finger on what it was that was missing for me though. That said, this expansion looks great, so I may just pick it up.
Saw this yesterday and it got me thinking about the Ayrton Senna game on the Master System, got looking up videos on YouTube. I loved that game back when I was a kid!
@kyleforrester87 it was this very game that got me into watching F1 on tv...over 30 years later I still watch it! Ayrton Senna soon became my favourite driver, and still is to this day. R.I.P. Ayrton 😥
Looking forward to this!
This is awesome. A nice tribute to Senna from his fellow Brazilians at Aquiris.
It's an insta-buy for me.
Same as above day one insta buy. This is a real gem of a game. I have on PS and Swith. Tbh probably better suited to handheld on switch but a great game either way. Happily support this
Thanks for the heads-up, this would have easily passed me by. Maybe one day the PS Blog will resume the comprehensive weekly release schedule (including DLC!).
Anyway, this is an immediate purchase for me and a great reason to return to the game. A shame the Vita release was physical only and now £75+ on eBay ☹️
Ahh Senna a time before assisted help still it's why we don't tackle or head the ball in footie anymore .........assisted help will encourage the Female into motorsport just like it has footie.
Gran Turismo did a heads up to Senna a good one too here's hoping Horizon.
@kyleforrester87 Me too Great Game.
Look forward to using the bow castor on his car.
Nice! I love this game!!
@Number09 - You do know that Senna went to Williams because of their pioneering work in launch control systems and computer assisted suspension right?
As for assists encouraging females in motorsport I guess you never heard of Maria Teresa de Filippis, Lella Lombardi, Michele Mouton, Danica Patrick etc.
@Shigurui assisted suspension is cool I suppose yes I have heard of these women Great women .....the point i'm trying to make is I see Football/Soccer and Motorsport being dumbed down and the only logical explanation I see is to make it more accessible to Women ... I am not having a Dig at Women but tackles heading and physical contact make it an exciting match..........and as for F1 I gave up on that a while back it's not about Hardcore seat of yer pants adrenaline pumping racing anymore anyway ive rattled on too much I bid you a Good day...oh and launch control yep cool too oh and let's not forget the Beautiful Sabine Schmitz's who has sadly passed away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnJOC_dDXzM
There's speculation this may also get a PS5 release, based on the cover of the special edition...
