The final breathless gasp of this year’s Summer Game Fest presentations has occurred, as multiple days’ worth of gaming showcases has ended with Ubisoft Forward and the developer’s update plans for several of its online multiplayer titles. Here’s the rundown.
We begin with The Crew Motorfest, which has confirmed the Season 5 content that’s headed to the multiplayer racer this November, including the additional island of Maui to explore, a “premium PvE experience” known as The Chase Squad that adds challenging new rival races, and a second volume of the Made in Japan playlist that brings new races, events, and locations.
The Skull & Bones portion of the program spent most of its time talking up Season 2 features, but it also provided a sneak peek at Season 3, which will introduce a new faction with related activities and stories, a new flying dragon monster, and a new 5v5 PvP mode.
Finally, The Division 2 has kicked off the first season of its Year 6 content today, with all new manhunts being added between now and September, new items, the removal of world tiers, and a merging of the base game and Warlords of New York DLC features together in what’s called One Endgame, which allows characters to level up to 40 and play endgame-specific activities without requiring an additional purchase; the Warlords DLC can still be bought to experience exclusive story content, the New York South Manhattan map, and special gear.
