While the official launch of The Crew 2 is still a few weeks away, Ubisoft took the first day of E3 to announce their post-launch support plans. These include a major free update in September that will introduce a whole new vehicle type to the game, plus paid content and monthly new vehicles.
Major free updates will occur every three months to expand the game’s experience, enrich its world and bring new disciplines, modes and features. The game’s first update, Gator Rush, will be released September 2018 and will let players enjoy a tropical cocktail of bouncy fun and wacky races on all kinds of surfaces and playgrounds, mastering a new and exotic discipline: the Hovercraft. This free update will also introduce five completely new vehicles to the line-up, as well as the new “Legendary” rarity level on performance parts that players will be able to collect in game. In addition to major updates, two new vehicles will be added to the existing line up each month.
The Crew 2 has been one of our hotly anticipated games since its big announcements last year. This writer even got a chance to test ride a Harley-Davidson 883 Iron, one of the pre-order vehicles.

More exciting new vehicles and game modes are being announced, including a brand new PvP mode planned for the second major free update, to be released this December.
“Continuous expansion and renewal has always been at the core of our vision for the franchise,” said Ahmed Boukhelifa, Ivory Tower Managing Director. “For players, this means they will always find new activities and things to discover – or re-discover from another perspective.”

Developed by Ubisoft Ivory Tower,* a studio based in Lyon, France, The Crew 2 will let players experience the thrill of the American motorsports spirit inside a fully redesigned USA. The game’s playground pushes physical boundaries to let driving and open world fans test their skills, solo or with friends, in nonstop competition and exploration. From coast to coast, drivers will explore America and compete to become the greatest motorsports champion by collecting a wide variety of exotic cars, bikes, boats and planes, and dominating the motorsports scene on the land, on the water and in the air. They will find challenges and inspiration among four different motorsports families: street racing, off-road, pro racing and freestyle, and will be given a broad set of options among a wide selection of vehicle types.
