Publisher Ubisoft has just provided dedicated drivers with a pretty hefty update on The Crew Motorfest, showing off the upcoming Year 2 additions — including the free Maui expansion. Available starting 6th November, Motorfest will be getting much bigger with a whole new island to explore, bringing with it a raft of new events, vehicles, and a new premium PvE mode, The Chase Squad.
We've embedded the full presentation above, which offers nearly 20 minutes of updates on The Crew franchise. One of the most notable announcements is that both Motorfest and The Crew 2 will be receiving offline modes at some point in the future, letting players continue playing even after the servers inevitably shut down in the years to come. There's no date for these offline modes yet, but it's good to hear they're coming.
It's positive news all around for fans of the series, then. Not only is Motorfest growing and improving, as is expected of Ubisoft and its dedicated live service upkeep, but both it and The Crew 2 will remain playable theoretically forever when the offline updates arrive. Unfortunately this didn't happen for the original game, which saw its servers close at the end of last year, but at least the current titles will be preserved in some fashion.
There's plenty to look forward to — will you be checking out The Crew Motorfest's big update later this year? Are you glad to see confirmation of offline modes for the two games? Pop the roof down in the comments section below.
