And you might be hard-pressed not to mistake this newest entry as Forza Horizon because there's a bit of an air here that hovers around Playground Games' lauded open-world driving series, right down to choosing a specific location, slightly tweaked for fun game design, as the player stomping ground.
Is it a problem that The Crew Motorfest looks to take cues from Forza Horizon? Not in our eyes, and certainly not if it's equally expansive and also carries with it more than enough of its own options and gameplay designs and innovations.
Welcome to Motorfest! This one-of-a-kind festival will let players enjoy the best experiences car culture has to offer. Motorfest will allow car lovers to fulfill their ultimate action driving bucket list through a series of tailor-made races, themed events and other unique challenges. Whichever way players enjoy cars and driving, there is something in there for them.
The Crew Motorfest has settled down in one of the most breathtaking and vibrant places on Earth: the island of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian archipelago. This is the perfect playground to let players have fun together with their vehicles: racing through the city streets of Honolulu, going down the ashy volcano slopes, adventuring deep in the lush rainforest, drifting along the curvy mountain roads or just chilling down on the sunny beach. On their own or with their crew, they will be able to explore the entire island behind the wheel of hundreds of the most legendary vehicles.
This is just the beginning! Players can expect more details about the full Motorfest program in the coming months.
The development team at Ubisoft Ivory Tower is committed to offering the most exciting and meaningful experience possible for all players. To do so, some of the most engaged players will be able to get behind the wheel early through the Insider Program, starting today, February 1. This closed test, split into different phases, will help the development team gather feedback to ensure an optimal player experience at launch and beyond. The first phase of the Insider Program will be limited to PC in order to allow for quick iterations. During the final phases, this closed test will open up to consoles.

In addition to all of the above, you can also check out a new behind-the-scenes video embedded below on the development of this new iteration of the series.
