2014’s The Crew wasn’t exactly a critical or commercial smash, but for reasons known only to Ubisoft, the game is getting a sequel, and today the publisher revealed a release date, multiple special editions, and new gameplay trailer for The Crew 2. You can check the trailer out, above.

The Crew 2 will be available in Deluxe, Gold, and standard editions. The Deluxe Edition comes with the Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck 2017, the Abarth 500 2008 Monster Truck, the Pilatus PC-21 aerobatics plane, and three character outfits. The Deluxe Edition costs a reasonable $70.
Meanwhile, the Gold Edition includes all goodies found in the Gold Edition, a SteelBook case, and the game’s season pass for $110. No word yet on what exactly the season pass will contain.
But wait, there’s more! Pre-ordering any version of The Crew 2 will net you the Legendary Motors pack, which includes the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Touring Car 2016 and a sweet Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
For those who haven’t been keeping up, The Crew 2 expands the original game’s concept by letting you take to land, sea, and air with cars, motorcycles, boats, and planes. Here’s the official rundown:
“You won’t just be able to drive across the Rocky Mountains – you’ll be able to soar through the clouds high above their majestic peaks. You won’t just off-road alongside the mighty Mississippi River, you’ll also speed down its waterways in a powerboat. The ability to switch between vehicle types on the fly opens up whole new realms of exploration, whether you’re flying through the Grand Canyon or motorbiking through the man-made canyons of New York City.
Throughout Motornation, as this land of vehicular freedom is officially called, you’ll find competitions and challenges waiting to test your skills. You’ll be able to capture and share your accomplishments with the press of a button, so you can throw down the gauntlet for your friends or just show off the cool stuff you’ve done.”
Ubisoft hasn’t announced a date for The Crew 2‘s beta, but you can sign up for it, right here.
The Crew 2 races on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on March 16, 2018.
