While fans of The Crew Series are excited for the release of The Crew Motorfest. they'll be happy to know the current installment received a new update. Update 1.29 comes out today in preparation of Season 9 Episode 1: American Legends. The updates includes new vehicles and events, as well as a brand new mode.
Race Creator is an exciting feature coming to the game's 9th season, which allows players to create races for others to enjoy. The mode itself is fairly simple, you start off on the map, and drive around while setting up checkpoints.
When finished setting all your checkpoints, you can edit different aspects of the race. This ranges from editing each checkpoint, to gameplay restrictions like Traffic Density and Discipline. Additionally, the player can edit Ambience features like weather, time of day, and even Wildlife and Pedestrians. You can also choose a picture to be a thumbnail for the race when sharing it online.
As for the rest of the update, it includes new 24 vehicles, new items in the shops, and of course, the 4 new stories. The stories will include backgrounds on some of the characters in the upcoming The Crew Motorfest.
