'The Crew Motorfest' Year 4 In October, Coincides With Nintendo Switch 2 Launch, Content Roadmap Includes Kauai, Tomb Raider DLC And More - Trailer

The Crew Motorfest enters a new era in the franchise, allowing car lovers to fulfill their ultimate action driving bucket list through a series of tailor-made races, themed events and other unique challenges.

Welcome to Motorfest! This one-of-a-kind festival will let players enjoy the best experiences car culture has to offer. Whichever way players enjoy cars and driving, there is something in there for them.

The Crew Motorfest has settled down in one of the most breathtaking and vibrant places on Earth: the island of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian archipelago. This is the perfect playground to let players have fun together with their vehicles: racing through the city streets of Honolulu, going down the ashy volcano slopes, adventuring deep in the lush rainforest, drifting along the curvy mountain roads or just chilling down on the sunny beach. On their own or with their crew, they will be able to explore the entire island behind the wheel of hundreds of the most legendary vehicles.

At the heart of the Motorfest experience, players will discover the Playlists: a selection of themed campaigns offering unique and exciting car culture experiences. Each Playlist is carefully designed to immerse players in a different car culture universe through a series of tailored races, themed events and challenges. Conquer the wild world of American Muscle cars; leave your mark in a Japan-inspired night racing scene; or prove you can win a competition without GPS and assisted driving at the wheel of legendary classics of the past. More than a dozen Playlists will be available at launch, with other themes going from mastering cutting-edge electric supercars – a brand-new vehicle category - to exploring the universes of the most prestigious car brands and creators.

With more than 610 vehicles at launch, players will get to choose and customize their rides from one of the most diverse line-ups of models ever, from both the past and the future! Among these is the Lamborghini Revuelto, the first V12 hybrid plug-in super sports car of the Italian brand and revealed today to be The Crew Motorfest’s Cover Car. Players will soon be able to enjoy the thrill of driving this hybrid super sports car at full speed under the Hawaiian skies.

The Crew Motorfest races into Year 4 on October 7 with its biggest map expansion yet adding the new island of Kauai as a free update alongside a new offroad-focused season. Season 11 introduces a winch gameplay system, wildlife across the Hawaiian archipelago, new vehicles including the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato and Bugatti Tourbillon, and a premium Tomb Raider crossover adventure featuring Lara Croft.

The update also marks the game's upcoming launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8 and offers a preview of Seasons 12 and 13, which will focus on Asian vehicles and service vehicles, respectively.

Free Kauai Expansion Opens a New Offroad Playground

Season 11 expands The Crew Motorfest map with Kauai, a new island available free to all players. The island is designed around offroad exploration, featuring swamps, canyons, hidden tunnels, and untamed terrain. Players can explore the new Kauai Expeditions Playlist, which includes eight events, exploration activities, and unlocks the Suzuki Jimny 2018 Rally Raid as its completion reward. Players will also discover 40 animal species across Hawaii on land, air, and sea, adding a new, living sense of vibrancy to the archipelago. 

New Winch System Changes How Players Explore

A new winch mechanic arrives in Season 11 for select vehicles, allowing players to clear fallen trees and debris, assist stranded vehicles, and complete environmental challenges. The feature is central to the season's offroad focus, with the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato highlighted as one of the vehicles built to take advantage of the new gameplay.

Tomb Raider Comes to Motorfest

A premium Tomb Raider DLC playlist sends players on an adventure guided by Lara Croft, combining driving, exploration, puzzles, wildlife encounters, and ancient ruins on Ni'ihau. The expansion includes eight story-driven events and five exclusive vehicles, including the Mercedes-AMG 6x6 and Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES.

Bugatti Tourbillon Headlines New Year 4 Content

The long-awaited Bugatti Tourbillon arrives through a free "Proving Laps" special event where players can compete for leaderboard positions and earn Prestige Ticket rewards. Season 11 also introduces 21 new vehicles, a new offroad-focused Trackforge creation kit with more than 200 pieces, and 40 wildlife species throughout Hawaii.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch and Future Seasons Revealed

The Crew Motorfest launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8. Ubisoft also teased upcoming Year 4 content, confirming that Season 12 will focus on Asian vehicles, including the Yangwang U9 Xtreme, Honda Prelude, and Mitsubishi Eclipse, while Season 13 will introduce service vehicles and semi-trucks as a new vehicle category.
