The long-awaited The Crew Motorfest comes out of the test bench and is officially ready to make its first laps in this crazy comeback
After a beta phase which will have very clearly aroused the curiosity of many players who love uninhibited racing games, The Crew Motorfest has officially taken a symbolic step in its development. The competitor of Forza Horizon 5 is finally ready and he intends to give everything to seduce budding pilots, but also the most experienced. A new start for the license.
The end of a stage, the beginning of a new race
The news comes to us directly from a tweet dropped by the game’s official account, the teams at Ivory Tower and Ubisoft have now closed development on The Crew Motorfest. Yes, the game has gone gold.
The news is not so insignificant since it comes, in addition to the smooth running of operations, to confirm that the game will indeed be available on time for its final release scheduled for September 14 on all of its media (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC). Of course, this does not mean a lazy period for the developers behind the project, far from it. The latter are now working hard to track down the latest bugs, make the latest optimizations or even modifications that will be made to the title for its launch. And on a game of this magnitude in the open world, all the more doomed to live for several years, there is always work to believe us.
This process method is now commonplace in the industry with the famous day one patch that we all know. It not only allows the developers to get down to the preparation of the launch in the best conditions, but also the publisher to send his game to the press for the production of physical copies.
Towards the revival of the series with The Crew Motorfest?
Since its first episode released in 2014, the license of open world racing games made in Ubisoft has been able to find its audience while standing out from the competition (Forza Horizon at the top of the list of course) by adding distinctive elements such as simply titanic maps and an MMORPG dimension based on loot and farm. A totally unique and original recipe, which even today has no real equivalent.
An ambitious series, and perhaps even too much for its time. If we come back to the case of The Crew 2, yet released in 2018, we can easily retain among its negative points or in any case often pointed out graphics below expectations, physics and sensations lacking in flavor. .but if, like us, you had the opportunity to experience The Crew Motorfest Beta, then you know that all that was before.
As KiKiToes was able to detail in its preview, Ubisoft seems to have listened to the players with this new opus by offering a less imposing map but with an almost flawless technique. The paradise island of Hawaii will have sent us in a few hours magnificent panoramas in the face, with its varied, colorful environments, and its high-flying realization. If we add to this a completely reworked physics, offering real sensations both at the controller and at the wheel, a crazy soundtrack and a progression system based on original playlists, this The Crew 3 has all the cards in hand to become a must for this super busy back to school… our final verdict in a few short weeks!
