'The Crew 2' (ALL) Introduces The Motorpass, Coming Next Week - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 17, 2020 @ 2:54 p.m. PST

The open-world racing game returns in The Crew 2, letting players experience the thrill of the American motorsports spirit inside a fully redesigned USA.

Welcome to Motornation, one of the most exhilarating open worlds ever created. The Crew 2’s playground pushes physical boundaries to let driving and open-world fans test their skills, solo or with friends, in non-stop competition and exploration, featuring a variety of cars, bikes, boats and planes, and become the greatest motorsports champion.

From coast to coast, players will experience the thrill of a huge, varied and action-packed open world USA completely reshaped for motorsports. In The Crew 2, drivers will explore America and compete to be a champion of Motornation 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 are a given a deep set of options among a wide selection of vehicle types.

For the first time ever, The Crew 2 offers the Fast Fav feature, giving players the ability to seamlessly switch between their favorite ground, water and air vehicles with the push of a button. Players can race full throttle off the Golden Gate Bridge and transform instantly into a speedboat as they hit the Bay, catch a huge wave and seamlessly transition into a stunt plane and fly away into the sunset. Players enjoy total freedom to ride any way they want in the familiar landscapes of The Crew 2’s vast open world.

For those who prefer the thrill of the race, players will also put their racing skills to the test in the widest range of competitive disciplines. In addition to previously announced street racing, powerboat racing, aerobatics, jetsprint and rally raid, three more disciplines are being introduced this week at Gamescom. Drift will have street racing fans burn rubber and take every curve in style to score points with every glorious slide, while the Alpha Grand Prix single-seater is tailored for the pro-racers in search of the perfect line. Carved in the heart of nature, a Motocross muddy track is waiting for off-road specialists to master the dirt and own every bump.

November 25 sees the kick-start of our first Motorflix season, with Episode 1: The Chase.

In addition to the Season system, Episode 1: The Chase will include a brand-new game mode that’s free for all players, as well as the usual vehicle drops, LIVE Summits and associated rewards, and vanity items.

We’ll be taking a closer look at all these additions next week, but we wanted to take the time today to give you more details on yet another new feature dropping on November 25: the MOTORPASS.

What is MotorPass?

The MotorPass is a new, optional multi-tiered reward system, that players can progress through by completing Daily and Seasonal Challenges.

There are 50 tiers in total, which offer both Free and Premium Rewards.

To unlock Premium Rewards, players can choose to purchase the Premium MotorPass.

What kind of rewards will the MotorPass include?

Progressing through the MotorPass will unlock exclusive vehicles, vanity items, outfits, currency packs (Crew Credits and Bucks), emotes, and more.

11 of the reward tiers are free, and for Episode 1 this includes the Bugatti Chiron Interception Edition (2020)!

How much will the premium MotorPass cost?

The Premium MotorPass will cost 80,000 Crew Credits.

However, every MotorPass will also include a total of 40,000 Crew Credits in currency packs – 20,000 CC as Free Rewards, and 20,000 CC as Premium Rewards.

How do challenges work ?

There are two types of Challenges: Daily and Seasonal.

Daily Challenges are actions to complete throughout the game, in a variety of contexts and disciplines. There are 5 Daily Challenges available to be completed in a 24 hour period, after which the selection changes.

We will also add 4 new Seasonal Challenges every week, based specifically on the current Season’s theme. These will remain available until the end of the Season, unlike Daily Challenges.

Completing Challenges will earn you Motor Stars, which are essentially experience points needed to progress through the MotorPass. The number of Motor Stars awarded will depend on the difficulty of the Challenge.

You need 10 Motor Stars to unlock one MOTORPASS tier.

How do challenges impact Live contracts?

Given the similarity between LIVE Contracts and Challenges, we will be removing Contracts from the game on November 25 and shifting the ability to earn free Crew Credits to the MOTORPASS.

As explained above, the MotorPass’ free rewards include Crew Credit packs to the total value of 20,000 CC.

How long will a MotorPass last?

A MotorPass will last for 2 months. It will run in tandem with the seasonal MOTORFLIX structure that we revealed at Ubisoft Forward, and that you can read up on HERE.

Every Episode will have its own MOTORPASS, and the rewards will be in sync with its theme. The very first MOTORPASS theme will therefore be The Chase!

Will this replace the vehicle drops, Live Summits and other free content that players currently enjoy?

No, we will continue to roll out free vehicle drops, LIVE Summits, events, and more, as usual. The MOTORPASS is completely optional and is designed to complement existing live drops, not replace them.

And of course, The Chase’s new game mode will be free and available to all, no change from our previous updates!

Is there a fame level requirement for the MotorPass?

There are no Fame level requirements, any player on any platform can progress in the MotorPass should they so wish. Even Free Trial players can give it a go, and will keep all their unlocked rewards if they decide to purchase the full game.

Do I only keep my MotorPass rewards for 2 months?

All content unlocked through the Motorpass remains available permanently, even beyond the 2 months of the Episode and Motorpass in question.

What if I don't have time to complete a MotorPass?

If you’re running short on time (or simply cannot wait to get your hands on the rewards!), there will be several packs available for purchase for immediate tier unlocks.

The Crew 2 allows players, solo or with friends, to fully express their creativity and skills, sharing unique moments of fun and extreme sensations. On their way to becoming the greatest motorsport champion, players will be able to track their actions and spot every wow moment of their journey. With LIVE Replay, The Crew 2 provides them with a light and user-friendly tool that will automatically record every glorious feat into a fully staged video clip to share with the world or to brag with their friends.

Across the country, players will meet four different motorsports families: street racers, pro racers, off-road experts and freestylers, each with their own culture and set of disciplines. Each family has a unique HQ, where players can meet, buy, collect and customize vehicles. Through competitions and chance encounters, players will find and hone their personal style, collect and customize dream rides, show them off and make their mark on the US motorsports scene.

The Crew 2 is currently available for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
