'The Crew 2' Release Date News: Racing Sim Delayed By At Least A Month
Bad news for anyone looking to get their hands on "The Crew 2" this 2018 as Ubisoft announced that the release date for the upcoming racing sim has been moved to an unspecified date. The game joins "Far Cry 5" as well as another unnamed game in the list of the developer's 2018 titles to be delayed.
Ubisoft revealed that instead of the original March 16, 2018, sequel to 2014's "The Crew" will be released in the first half of their 2018-2019 fiscal year. This pegs the game's launch somewhere between April 2018 and September 2018. According to the publisher, the delays are due to them "investing more time in the development" of these games.
"This decision is in line with our strategic vision of developing even more engaging and higher quality experiences for gamers," said Ubisoft's worldwide studios executive director Christine Burgess-Quémard. "Taking more time with 'Assassin's Creed Origins' enabled our talented development team to fully express their creative vision."
