Game: The Crew 2

Platform: PC, PS4, XBox One

Publisher: Ubisoft

Release Date: 29/06/2018

The Crew 2 has received its first update as part of its more frequent update schedule which will see brand new street racing events added every week until the next major content update.

The first update has actually introduced five new racing events (as seen below), but Ubisoft has explained that every subsequent weekly drop will introduce two new events. This includes one new Drag race and one Hypercar race per month, leaving the rest in the Street Race discipline.

You can view the full list of new events available now below.

 

NAME DISCIPLINE AVAILABLE
COASTAL RANGE TO LA STREET RACE JANUARY 30
CENTRAL WOODS SOUTH STREET RACE JANUARY 30
TEMECULA WINERIES STREET RACE JANUARY 30
MAINE HIGHLANDS EAST HYPERCAR JANUARY 30
DEATH VALLEY DRAG RACE JANUARY 30

This week’s “The Crew 2 Weekly” showcases one of the brand new Street race events: Central Woods South. The goal here is, of course, to place as high on the event leaderboard as possible during the set timeframe. Only scores performed during this set period will be counted and the leaderboards are based on platforms – so the top 1000 players on PS4, Xbox One and PC will be rewarded, details below.

 

EVENT CENTRAL WOODS SOUTH (ANY DIFFICULTY)
DISCIPLINE STREET RACE
DATES WED JAN 30 – MON FEB 4
PLACEMENT REWARDS TOP 5: 10,000 CC
6-100: 5,000 CC
101-1000: 2,000 CC

Developer Ivory Tower recently conducted a live stream discussing the new content plan for the racer, which you can check out below, along with today’s v1.2.2 update patch notes.
