Ubisoft Has Announced That The Crew 2 Is Coming Soon

Following on from 2014’s open-world racing game The Crew, publisher Ubisoft has now announced a sequel – The Crew 2.

We don’t know much about the new game so far, apart from that fact it’s called The Crew 2 and will be released at some point in the next year. Oh, and also the logo.

It was revealed as part of Ubisoft’s 2017 fiscal year earnings report, so we can presume it will be released by the end of the current fiscal year – March 2018.

The game’s official Twitter account then shared the logo and said: “Beyond the road… stay with us for more high-octane thrills.”

With this, we can assume the new game may focus a bit more on off-road driving and racing, in a similar way to the hints we’ve had for the next Need for Speed game.

So, we’ll have to wait and see what else is revealed in the coming months, but it’s certainly good news for racing gamers that The Crew 2 will arrive fairly soon (for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC we imagine).

There’s also the question of where it’ll be set, with the original – reportedly played by over 12 million online players – having a vast (but scaled down, obviously) open-world recreation of the USA.

A few people have suggested Europe which would make some sense with Ubisoft being a French game publisher, and they’ve already covered the US.

Expect to hear more about The Crew 2 at Ubisoft’s E3 conference on the 12 June, where we will probably get our first details of the game.

If a Ford Explorer is in one of the hype photos…..don’t waste your time.

Maybe it won’t be as tedious and boring to get money in the sequel. I enjoyed The Crew, but getting cash was just so difficult.

I’ve been play the original one for ever and the game biggest failing is it’s lack of player base and community. Anyone remember NFSWorld? it had it’s fair share of problems. Most of the cars drove and sounded the same or were horribly under or over powered. And don’t even get me started on the games visuals. It looked like NFSMW.2005 with a couple graphic and texture mods. But no one cared because it was massively fun. The crew just is’int you’ll drive for hours and never see another player and on a map as vast as the crews that’s just a recipe for disaster.

They could set it in Australia, I can’t think of any open-world car game set there!

Wait…

OH MY GOD YES! I love The Crew and I still play it. I’m really hoping for better physics and much better sound. The RX-7 literally sounded like a Mustang. Also, the map was great but they left out some important cities like Boston, Phoeix, Atlanta.

meh

I hope Ubisoft enables VR View as an Option, I hate having to start up VORPX just to play The Crew 1 somewhat decently. It’d be so badass to be able to play a driving game like this in VR especially with (most likely) better graphics :D
