Season 3 is a significant update for The Crew Motorfest, with quality-of-life changes and new cars alongside a fresh playlist of events.
Fresh events and cars will be available within The Crew Motorfest later today, 13th March 2024, thanks to the addition of Season 3 – Hollywood Action.
Ubisoft Ivory Tower’s open-world accessible racing game launched last year, set on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu
Structurally, the main single-player experience is broken down into two key areas: Playlists and the Main Stage.
The new third season will see you take part in movie-esque sequences, either staying within the videographer’s camera lens or destroying objects. This will be for a movie entitled ‘Hi-Ride’ and under the supervision of director ‘Rick Martinez’.
In total, it equates to nine new main events, one reward, 25 challenges and 15 side activities.
As part of the action, players will get to experience the new-to-Motorfest Aston Martin DB5, Aston Martin DBS (2022), Mini Cooper S (1968) and the fictional Ivory Tower Aezus hypercar.
In the trailer, it looks as if the Honda Integra Type R (DC2) and Jeep Gladiator are involved too.
The DB5 will be a reward for completing the playlist, while the Aezus will become available via the in-game store.
However, the DBS, Integra, Mini and Gladiator – for use outside of the playlist – are part of the Year 1 Pass owners – an optional paid-for extra that provides a mix of exclusive or early-access vehicles. More on the cars, below…
For Season 3 of this area, which runs from April until June, each new set will be based around an automotive content creator, with an additional reward for reaching a target in the live summit format.
Racing game YouTuber BlackPanthaa and Twitch streamer Stereonline are first, followed by Formula Drift champion and Nissan advocate Chris Forsberg and lastly car modifier That Dude In Blue and supercar fan Shmee150. There will also be a BlackPanthaa Edition modified Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) up for grabs.
These events are typically ephemeral, although a new ‘Legacy Main Stage’ feature will see past events return.
As we’ve already mentioned, those who own the Year 1 Pass will pick up the aforementioned DBS, Mini, Integra and Gladiator across March and April. They will also receive the Lotus Emira and W Motors Lykan Hypersport in June and some Forsberg-tuned Nissan drift cars in May:
Then, 10 further cars appear in Motorfest for the first time, provided you own them within The Crew 2 and use the collection import feature:
Nearly done, there are also vehicles that can be obtained as rewards:
Chief of which is now being able to select multiple unlocked car parts to scrap for scrap points. These in turn can be used the change reward modifiers on car parts, but previously you had to scrap each individually.
The garage area can now be sorted by vehicle class, as opposed to just an alphabetical list, too.
Further steering settings will be added, a direct mode will allow sensitivity and dynamic max lock to be adjusted via two new sliders. When viewing the map, additional filters are set to be included.
The full changelog is listed below, which also includes claimed stability improvements when playing co-operatively, removal of a PC bug that caused the game to crash when taking a picture, 3D audio support for PlayStation 5 and new Grand Race (online multiplayer) sections.
Between 14th March (6 pm UTC) to 18th March (12 pm UTC) you can download and play the full game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Ubisoft Store or Epic Games Store).
