Ivory Tower will be releasing a new patch for their open-world racer The Crew next week which adds a new car into the mix as well as some new features and more besides.
The update will add a new PvP game mode called The Crown, here you'll need to capture and keep the crown for as long as you can. Holding the crown grants you points, in order to take the crown from someone you'll need to him them with your car. The Crown mode also brings four additional PvP missions specifically for the mode.
Also included is the new roulette system in the PvP lobby. All players are asked to select the type of PvP event they want to race in, the roulette system then randomly selects the next event among the player choices.
Additionally, the 2 hour trial of The Crew found on current generation consoles will now be avialable for PC players too and, as beofre, any progress made on the trial will be carried over to the full game. Besides the updates mentioned above, there are several other additions which can be seen in the changelog below.
