HORIZON-5 is a forthcoming model of large scale structure with the greater volume than the current state of the art simulations. It will distinguish itself with sufficient resolution to resolve internal galaxy dynamics (400 pc), an elongated domain shape for creating mock pencil beam surveys and the best chemical evolution model incorporated into an extremely large volume simulation thus far. The simulation code is an updated version of RAMSES-CH will trace at least 10 elements. While large scale structure is not of primary importance to chemical evolution, the HORIZON-5 simulation will provide self-consistent chemical evolution of an unprecedented number of galaxies across the mass range and morphology spectrum. I will present some technical specifications of HORIZON-5, describe the key science goals and how these simulations will be of use for building on our understanding of chemical evolution in the context of the varied pathways of galaxy evolution.
