The Crew Motorfest's Generous PS5, PS4 Update Looks Like an Entire New Game | Push Square

Here’s an example of live service being executed excellently, then: The Crew Motorfest’s forthcoming Year 2 update almost looks like an entire new game. For existing owners of the acclaimed racer, you’ll get access to a brand new island, inspired by Maui. This effectively doubles the size of the title’s open world, and you won’t be paying a penny for the privilege to explore it.

Available from 6th November, the map will also be accompanied by the addition of a new Playlist, which for those who don’t know are themed mini-campaigns packed with events. Made in Japan Volume 2 will build upon the blueprint introduced in the base game, and will see you drifting your way through Tokyo-style decorated streets against familiar faces.

Once you’ve completed all of the main races, you’ll unlock the Rivals Race Board, allowing you to take on all 11 foes on the open roads in randomly generated spints. Earn the top score to unlock rewards – again, all completely free for owners of the base game. More Playlists will be added in the future, as developer Ivory Tower has committed to another year of support.

For those looking to get even more value out of the game, though, the Year 2 Pass will include an entire new mode and campaign, called Chase Squad. This goes a little Need for Speed, and sees you recruited to the police where you’ll need to complete pursuits to take down criminals. You’ll need to track your targets by following clues, and then chase them down.

As you’d expect, there’ll be a ton of cars to unlock as part of the new mode, while the Year 2 Pass will also provide you with a new vehicle every month. It’ll all get started with the BMW M5 CS and Nissan Skyline GT-R R32. So there’s an absolute metric ton to look forward to here, especially if you already own the game.

Remember, the developer is also working on offline modes for both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest which will ensure they remain playable long after their live service support ends. Are
