UBISOFT SHARES MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE CREW™ MOTORFEST YEAR 2 AT THE CREW SHOWCASE 2024: NEW ISLAND OF MAUI, SEASONS, PLAYLISTS, AND CHASE SQUAD GAME MODE ANNOUNCED FOR YEAR 2.

Ubisoft made new announcements about the future of The Crew™ franchise, including the gameplay reveal of multiple elements of The Crew™ Motorfest’s massive Year 2 content update, during The Crew Showcase 2024. The development team from Ubisoft Ivory Tower gave players a thorough overview of Year 2’s grand arrival on 6th November with the launch of Season 5 and the addition of a new playground available for free to all players: the breathtaking island of Maui.

During the showcase, the development team also expressed their commitment to ensuring long-term access to both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest. Both games will continue to be playable and will include an offline mode deployed in the future. Players who have not yet gotten behind the wheel will be able to benefit from the biggest discount offers ever seen on The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest. Additionally, all The Crew 2 players will have access to 4 vehicles for only one Crew Credit, to kick-start their adventures across land, air, and sea.

Starting on 6th November, all The Crew Motorfest players will be able to roam the island of Maui for free, adding over 100km² of pure on and off-roading fun, which represents nearly 50% of O’ahu’s size. Going from one island to the other will be a seamless experience, as Maui will be accessible by sea, by air or by the road through a new bridge, without any loading screen. This new playground has been designed to represent the vibrant melting pot of cultures that is Maui, blending ancient Hawaiian traditions with modern influences, set to make players’ journeys more captivating than ever. They will discover the road to Hana, deep lush bamboo forests, mesmerising waterfalls, and narrow bridges showcasing Maui’s natural wonders. Players will also be able to experience the beauty of Kaihalulu beach, with its glowing red sands, and explore the legendary Haleakalā National Park, the “House of the Sun”! The island’s vibrant heart, Kahului, features a lively city center, a deep-draft harbour, and verdant suburbs to explore. Maui beckons, offering endless exploration and exhilarating motorised escapades.

Season 5 is the first of the 3 added with Year 2, packed with free fresh automotive thrills for players to enjoy. It will mark the return of the beloved “Made in Japan” playlist, with Volume 2 introducing brand new neon races, events, and locations. New street racer squads have arrived at the festival, and they are determined to dominate the asphalt, putting players to the test! Once all the main events have been tackled, players will unlock the Rivals Race board and get into ruthless face-offs in dynamic one-on-one races across the open roads of both islands. But this is just the beginning! Weeks of content have been lined up for Season 5, with new challenges, car culture themes, and exciting rides to collect for the season.

Finally, the Year 2 update will also bring premium PVE content with “The Chase Squad”, a new Motorfest twist on car chase gameplay. As members of the Squad, players will master the art of the Chase, embarking on an adrenaline-fueled journey to hunt down, outsmart, and outmaneuver urban racing rivals in intense face-offs across the islands. French artist Carpenter Brut created “Death Racer”, an exclusive track to ignite these nocturnal pursuits and keep players on edge while tracking their rivals throughout the islands of O’ahu and Maui. This original soundtrack will be available on all digital platforms this coming fall.

The Chase Squad experience will be included in the Year 2 Pass, which will be available on 6th November. It will also be part of the refreshed Gold and Ultimate editions of The Crew Motorfest, available on the same date. The Year 2 Pass will unlock access to 20 additional vehicles in total: 9 vehicles will be available from day one, while the remaining 11 vehicles will be released in monthly drops throughout the year.
