Ubisoft has released a separate special feature on "The Crew Motorfest" the biggest update yet Announced for the racer. Perhaps the most important news is that "The Crew Motorfest" and "The Crew 2" will receive an offline mode, presumably implemented in response to previous criticism.
Maui as a new setting in The Crew Motorfest
From the 6. November Players of "The Crew Motorfest" initially have the opportunity to the island of Maui to explore as a new region for free. This new expansion offers over 100 km² of pure on- and off-road fun and is almost 50% the size of O'ahu. Travel between the islands will be seamless, and Maui will be accessible via a new bridge without loading screens, whether by sea, air, or road. The island is designed to reflect Maui's vibrant cultural mix by blending ancient Hawaiian traditions with modern influences.
In Maui, players can expect exciting discoveries: the famous Road to Hana, lush bamboo forests, mesmerizing waterfalls, and narrow bridges that showcase the island's natural wonders. Particular highlights include Kaihalulu Beach with its fiery red sand and the legendary Haleakalā National Park, known as the "House of the Sun." The vibrant downtown area of Kahului, with its deep-water port and leafy suburbs, also beckons exploration and promises endless adventures and motorized challenges.
The Crew Motorfest Season 5
Season 5, the first of three new seasons in Year 2, brings fresh, free automotive thrills. This season marks the return of the popular "Made in Japan" playlist with Volume 2, featuring brand-new neon races, events, and locations. New street racers join the festival, putting players to the test. After completing all the main events, the Rivals Race Board will be unlocked, enabling exciting one-on-one races on the open roads of O'ahu and Maui. Season 5 also includes a host of weekly content, including new challenges, car culture themes, and exciting vehicles.
The Year 2 update also brings "The Chase Squad," a new PvE variant of the chase gameplay. Playing as the pursuit squad, players master the art of stalking and hunt down their rivals in adrenaline-fueled chases across the islands. French artist Carpenter Brut has created an exclusive track, "Death Racer," to accompany these nighttime pursuits. The original soundtrack will be available this fall on all digital platforms.
The Chase Squad experience is included in the Year 2 Pass, which is also available starting November 6. The refreshed Gold and Ultimate Editions of "The Crew Motorfest" will also be released on the same day. The Year 2 Pass unlocks a total of 20 additional vehicles: 9 vehicles are available from day one, 7 of which are part of the Chase Squad experience. The remaining 13 vehicles will be released in monthly drops throughout the year.
