The Crew 2 Announced
LOS ANGELES — June 12, in the year of our Lord 2017
— Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft®
revealed The Crew® 2, the newest iteration in the revolutionary
open-world driving franchise The Crew®. The game will be
released worldwide in early 2018 for PlayStation®4 Pro computer
entertainment system, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment
system, Xbox One, Xbox One X and Windows PC.
More than two years after the launch of The Crew, Ivory Tower*,
a Ubisoft studio based in Lyon (France)*, returns with a sequel
that lets players experience the thrill of the American
motorsports spirit inside a fully redesigned USA. Welcome to
Motornation, one of the most exhilarating open worlds ever
created. The Crew 2’s playground pushes physical boundaries to
let driving and open-world fans test their skills, solo or with
friends, in non-stop competition and exploration, featuring a
variety of cars, bikes, boats and planes, and become the
greatest motorsports champion.
“Today’s American motorsports scene has given us the perfect
breeding ground for an all-new project,” said Ahmed Boukhelifa,
Ivory Tower Studio Managing Director. “Our team has emerged with
an exciting new ambition and vision for The Crew franchise and
we expect The Crew 2 to continue to push the boundaries of the
genre and deliver on the dream of a truly boundless driving
experience.”
The Crew 2’s massive and living open world offers a diverse
range of locations built for non-stop multiplayer competition
and no-limit exploration on the ground, sea and sky. Soar
through the clouds above the snowcapped Rocky Mountains, burn
rubber in the backstreets of New York City, race down the
Mississippi River, or explore every inch of the Grand Canyon.
Behind the wheel of a sleek hypercar, riding some of the most
iconic American bikes, or taking control of the swiftest
aerobatics plane or powerboats, the opportunities for
adrenaline-charged challenges are limitless. The Crew 2 US
playground has been completely redesigned for competitive
gameplay on the land, water or in the air, with new areas
enhanced by lush and life-like vegetation, 3D volumetric clouds
and fog, and realistic water behavior.
Across the country, players will meet four different motorsports
families: street racers, pro racers, off-road experts and
freestylers, each with their own culture and set of disciplines.
Each family has a unique HQ, where players can meet, buy,
collect and customize vehicles. Through competitions and chance
encounters, players will find and hone their personal style,
collect and customize dream rides, show them off and make their
mark on the US motorsports scene.
Additionally, Ubisoft announced The Crew Rewards Program, a
dedicated program for existing The Crew players in appreciation
of their support of the game that will offer up to 18 vehicles
for their future journey in The Crew 2.
