And it's coming sooner than we thought, June 29 for PS4, Xbox One and PC. That will be "enhanced with additional features for PS4 Pro systems". No mention of the Xbox One X though. As a sequel The Crew 2 looks be going the Watch Dogs 2 router - that is brighter, more colourful, more fun-oriented, and celebratory than the original outing.

Whilst offering a redesigned U.S. of A to roam around in cars, boats, planes, or bikes. Here's hoping that from a design perspective this is more Forza Horizon than The Crew - a fun if flawed CARPG.



To celebrate the release date announcement Ubisoft have opened up pre-orders for the game - which includes a deluxe ($159.95 AUD) Motor Edition that in addition to offering early access to the game you get:

• The Crew 2 Gold Edition and Season Pass to enjoy new vehicles, outfits, additional content and much more.
  
• The Motorsports Deluxe Pack, which includes unique outfits and vehicles, including the FORD F-150 RAPTOR RACE TRUCK 2017, PILATUS PC-21 AIR RACE EDITION 2002 Plane and the ABARTH 500 MONSTER TRUCK EDITION 2008.
  
• A customized American The Crew 2 license plate that comes in a high-quality collector box, an exclusive Steelbook, the official Roadmap of the game and four original stickers.
