The new racing game "The Crew 2" will have a delayed release. Initially set to be unveiled March 14, 2018, the racing title will now be out sometime in mid-2018. This may sadden some fans who had been looking forward to the game, but not all is lost as the beta of the game is about to be open to fans. In fact, registrations are now on-going for gamers from the latest consoles.

Fans of the game who want to get a beta slot for "The Crew 2" will first need a Ubisoft account. That is actually the only major requirement as players from the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC can all sign up for it. Of course, players should have the consoles or the minimum requirements on PC, but aside from those, all players have to do is just select their console.

As of now, no official announcement has been made about what the beta will offer. The news will presumably be out by the new year. Given the game's open-world setting and the multiple race options, the beta would probably offer a taste of all the features the new game has.

"The Crew 2" was announced a few months back during the E3 this year. It does not just feature a simple racing game only having cars, but it has different kinds of vehicles from bikes, boats, and even planes. Checking out the game's trailer will already show you all those. As with the original "The Crew" released back in 2014 for the same consoles, the game will put more emphasis on its multiplayer features. However, there is always the single-player mode for those who prefer playing solo.

In the sequel, players will also get the chance to become the "King of All Motorsports" including street racers, professional racers, off-road experts, and freestylers. Players can choose to build their career with one motorsport and progress on from there.

After developer Ubisoft chose to delay its release, there has still been no mention of an official release date. Fortunately enough, it should not be delayed for too long as the game should be out by mid-2018.
