Ubisoft today announced the first details of The Crew Motorfest Year 2 content, adding an all-new playground for all players to explore: the stunning volcanic island of Maui.
Players eager to participate in high-speed chases also got a glimpse of Season 5's promising premium PVE content: Pursuit Squad.
The first year of celebrations in Hawaii offers a variety of action-packed updates for everyone to enjoy. With the release of the final Season 1 update on July 3rd, players will be able to ditch the “Donk vs Lowrider” playlist and jump into the customization frenzy. Starting June 12th and 6th Dhu al-Hijjah, car manufacturers Abarth, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia will join the festival with 17 new cars, with the 1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale available as a bonus via Twitch Drop during the conference.
When Season 5 launches in November 2024, all players will be able to roam the enchanting island of Maui for free, adding over 100 square kilometers of pure off-road fun. They'll have the opportunity to explore new landscapes, experience the vibrant atmosphere of Kahului's skyline, traverse the scenic vistas of Haleakala National Park with its enchanting bamboo groves, and cruise the legendary lagoons of Ohiu Valley with their sparkling waterfalls. Maui is calling, with the promise of limitless exploration and thrilling vehicular adventures.
In this new setting, the festival brings a new touch of excitement to the world of vehicles, as seen in the promo for "The Hound" by French artist Carpenter Brut. Gone are the days when a race was just a sprint to the finish line! Introducing the 'Chasing Squad': a unique PvE experience featuring an elite team of drivers whose main mission is to revolutionize the traditional racing scene and outperform their rivals.
Players can join the 'squad' and learn to master the art of 'chasing.' They'll embark on an action-packed mission to track, outsmart, and outmaneuver urban racing rivals in cross-island showdowns, featuring nighttime chases that will challenge their dexterity and push their skills to the limit.
Season 5 also marks the return of the fan-favorite “Made in Japan” playlist, with Volume 2 introducing new events, locations, and neon-lit races. Players will receive more information on this during the upcoming The Crew Showcase event in September 2024, as well as news about the 'Chasing Squad' experience and future Year 2 content and seasons.
The Crew Motorfest is available for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, X|S, and PC via Ubisoft Connect, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. The Ultimate Edition of the game is also included with Ubisoft+ subscriptions via Ubisoft Connect, Xbox, and Amazon Luna.
