If you\u2019re a fan of racing games, you\u2019ve probably checked out at least one of Ubisoft\u2019s The Crew <\/em>games, the first of which was released all the way back in 2014. The original The Crew <\/em>was a massive open-world racer that was undeniably ambitious, but arguably suffered from a map that was slightly too big and a lack of diversity in terms of activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2018, Ubisoft followed its first Crew <\/em>game with a sequel, appropriately titled The Crew 2<\/em>. That game allowed you to control several different vehicles in addition to cars, and also featured multiple hub worlds, so it was clear that Ubisoft wanted to double down on the size of the original The Crew <\/em>rather than scale it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following these two projects, in 2023, Ubisoft officially revealed The Crew Motorfest<\/em>, the latest title in what is now officially the Crew <\/em>franchise. Motorfest <\/em>looks to be scaling back the immense, well, scale of the previous two games a little, and it\u2019s apparently taking direct inspiration from a certain rival racing franchise as well. Here\u2019s what we know about The Crew Motorfest <\/em>so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ubisoft has officially announced that The Crew Motorfest <\/em>will be released across current-gen consoles and last-gen machines on September 14th. Happily, this means that even if you\u2019re playing on PS4 or Xbox One, you\u2019ll still be able to enjoy the game, so it seems like the previous generation of consoles isn\u2019t being counted out just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Delays to the release date are looking pretty unlikely at this stage as well. At time of writing, we\u2019re around five or six weeks away from The Crew Motorfest<\/em>\u2019s launch, and any delays at this stage would likely prove catastrophic to the game\u2019s marketing push. Expect The Crew Motorfest <\/em>to release exactly when Ubisoft says it will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Naturally, in order to hype up the game, Ubisoft have released a number of The Crew Motorfest <\/em>trailers, each spotlighting different elements and aspects of the open-world racer. Here\u2019s a quick look at the trailers we\u2019ve seen so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Crew Motorfest <\/em><\/strong>teaser trailer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, on January 31st this year, we got a first look at The Crew Motorfest <\/em>via its debut teaser trailer<\/a>. This trailer doesn\u2019t give too much about the game away; it features a quick look at the setting of O\u2019ahu in Hawaii and promises an \u201cunparalleled diversity of game modes and immersive driving experiences\u201d, but this is very much an announcement to get you hyped for the game rather than anything particularly informative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Crew Motorfest <\/em><\/strong>cinematic introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The next major trailer for The Crew Motorfest <\/em>was a cinematic showcase<\/a> of the game\u2019s setting and aesthetic. It also revealed the release date of September 14th, as well as giving us a look at the various different kinds of cars we\u2019ll get to drive across O\u2019ahu, including vintage vehicles, electric supercars, and even a brand new Lamborghini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Crew Motorfest <\/em><\/strong>gameplay premiere trailer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On June 12th, during its Ubisoft Forward presentation, Ubisoft gave us a first look at The Crew Motorfest<\/em>\u2019s gameplay<\/a>. The trailer emphasised the game\u2019s bright colours and festival atmosphere, causing many to draw comparisons to Playground\u2019s Forza Horizon <\/em>franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Crew Motorfest <\/em><\/strong>festival program trailer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Later on in June, we got a trailer giving us a look at the titular Motorfest<\/a>, which will be the principal setting in The Crew Motorfest<\/em>, as well as the source of the game\u2019s challenges. Much like in Forza Horizon<\/em>, we\u2019re here to enjoy a festival celebrating all things vehicular, so you can expect plenty of \u201ctailor-made races, themed events, and other unique challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bonus: <\/strong>The Crew Motorfest <\/em><\/strong>Behind the Wheel series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as the aforementioned trailers, Ubisoft has also been periodically releasing a series known as Behind the Wheel, in which the developers of The Crew Motorfest <\/em>discuss the process of creating the game and the decisions that have gone into its production. Make sure to watch this if you\u2019ve got any interest in a behind-the-scenes look at The Crew Motorfest<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until we get our hands on The Crew Motorfest<\/em>, it\u2019s difficult to get a full picture of what the game will offer. However, here\u2019s what we know about it so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over 600 vehicles. <\/strong>The car selection in The Crew Motorfest <\/em>looks pretty impressive; you can choose from tons of different kinds of vehicles, and we\u2019re expecting that more will be added post-launch as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019re a fan of racing games, you\u2019ve probably checked out at least one of Ubisoft\u2019s The Crew games, the first of which was released all the way back in 2014.
