Last year, The Crew was shut down to the great sorrow and frustration of many, sparking massive protests from fans and reigniting the debate about who actually owns a purchased game. A lot of players felt robbed and ended up launching a lawsuit against Ubisoft, who to this day insists that players don’t actually own their games.
However, in September last year, Ubisoft promised to add offline modes to both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest — and then basically went radio silent on the whole thing… until yesterday. In a new video, Ubisoft finally confirmed they’re working on offline modes for these titles, and that a select number of players will get the chance to test-drive the feature on April 30 before it officially launches.
The test phase will be PC-only at first, but once it’s ready for prime time, it’ll roll out on all platforms. The offline mode for The Crew 2 is supposed to drop before the end of the year, while The Crew Motorfest will take a bit longer. Either way, it actually looks like Ubisoft plans to stick to their promise for once.
