Fans of The Crew franchise were delighted when Ubisoft officially announced that the release date for the latest game was just three months away. With Ubisoft developers Ivory Tower only announcing The Crew Motorfest title earlier in 2023, the turnaround was quick, much to the delight of motor racing fans. To add to the excitement over the game's impending release on September 14, another piece of good news has emerged: players will be able to enjoy five hours of free gameplay.

What is it about ?
The Crew Motorfest is an open-world racing game from Ubisoft. Originally planned as DLC for The Crew 2, the story continues as a sequel to the 2018 title. This is the third installment in the franchise, with the races continuing on the American continent.
The open world of The Crew Motorfest takes place on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu. The developers had planned to release the game as DLC. However, due to changes to the game's racing dynamics and progression structure, it was not possible to use the existing game engine. This means that users will be able to experience a significantly improved racing game compared to its predecessors, which already received a lot of praise during its closed beta period a few weeks ago.
Like Forza Horizon 5 which takes place in Mexico, the lush and diverse environments of the island of Hawaii where Motorfest will take place should offer high-quality visuals and terrains. This adds a new level of engagement to racing across multiple categories of race cars. This includes standard street racing vehicles, touring cars and motorcycles, as well as hypercars, drifters, dragsters, rally and race cars.
However, what really sets The Crew franchise apart from other racing games is the addition of powerboats and planes, allowing players to take to the seas and skies for all-out races. Upon release, the game will feature an impressive lineup of over 600 vehicles to choose from from over 50 renowned manufacturers.
A Hawaiian site and a clear desire to make driving more attractive. If you were hesitant, here's a great taster.
