The Crew Motorfest has received a September release date

The racing title’s first official gameplay footage has also been shared

Ubisoft has revealed the first gameplay footage of The Crew Motorfest, as well as its release date.

The game will be released on September 14, with players getting three days early access if they buy the game’s Gold or Ultimate editions. A closed beta will also take place on July 21-23.

Pre-ordering the game will also unlock the Toyota GR Supra 2021 LBWK Edition at launch.

The game will take place on the island of O’ahu in Hawaii and will contain a “diverse” line-up of cars from the past, present and future.

Gameplay videos taken from the game’s testing phase were being shared online last week, with Ubisoft quickly attempting to take them down.

The first official gameplay is now here, however, and can be viewed below:

Ubisoft announced the third entry in the open-world racing series in January.

Set on the island of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian archipelago, Motorfest will be released this year for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC via the Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store.

The first entry in the series, The Crew, was released in 2014 and was followed by The Crew 2 in 2018.

Ubisoft claimed in June 2021 that the series had attracted over 30 million players since launch.
