Ubisoft E3 2013 Press Conference
New Open World Driving Title The Crew
LOS ANGELES June 10, in the year of our Lord 2013
Today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft
revealed The Crew, a revolutionary online action-driving game
developed exclusively for Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and
entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation® 4 computer
entertainment system and for PC, to be released early 2014.
Development of The Crew is being led by Ivory Tower, a team of
racing game veterans and an exclusive partner to Ubisoft, in
collaboration with several Ubisoft studios including Reflections
Ltd., a Ubisoft studio, best known for its work on the Driver®
franchise.
The Crew propels gamers on a reckless ride through a massive
open world version of the United States of America, brimming
with exciting challenges and diverse terrain - from city to
suburb, county to county, state to state, coast to summit. The
Crew redefines the level of freedom players experience in a
driving game by offering a playground of unprecedented scope in
which any driving fantasy can be realized: street, dirt,
cross-country, circuit and more.
To bring that vision to life, The Crew leverages the
capabilities of new hardware to connect players online like
never before. The Crews persistent online world is populated by
other real players, meaning any other car is a potential rival
or ally, and naturally fostering both competition and
cooperation among players. This living world provides a tailored
experience to a new generation of gamers, as each player is
given the choice to play alone, or to team up on-the-go with
friends to accomplish collective challenges.
Finally, players can continue to interact with The Crew game
world on a second screen via the companion application that will
be available soon for iOS® and Android™ devices. The Crew
companion app will allow for peripheral, complementary
experiences, providing a more intricate player experience
overall.
We want to give players a driving experience that goes way
beyond the classic circuit-based racing games and really
captures the boundless sense of freedom of driving across the
U.S., said, Julian Gerighty, creative director, Ubisoft. Our
teams are harnessing the power of next-generation platforms to
make The Crew a challenging, immersive and non-stop world that
can be shared by millions of players. This is a brand new
driving game experience unlike anything thats come before it.
