Developed by Ubisoft Ivory Tower, the open-world racing game has its formula retooled to focus less on the story and more on motorsports. Cars are obviously making a return but joining it are boats and planes, on top of the bikes and monster trucks that were added in a DLC for the first game. These vehicles are all categorized into four “race disciplines” for The Crew 2, namely Street Race, Rally Raid, Powerboat, and Aerobatics.

The Crew 2 is scheduled to launch on 29 June. Here’s a look at the Collector’s Edition and the various pre-order bonuses.
