Ubisoft, the publisher of the game "The Crew 2" developed by France-based game studio Ivory Tower, announced that the upcoming open-world racing game is slated to release for the PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox One and personal computer (PC) on June 29. 

GameSpot reported the latest release date news for "The Crew" sequel which was originally scheduled to launch on Mar. 16. Moreover, the website also reported that players may now avail of a special edition of the upcoming game known as the Motor Edition. The special edition of the game is exclusively available on Ubisoft's online store and will grant players three days early access to the game on June 26.

Furthermore, the Motor Edition will include a couple of bonus items alongside a copy of the game, such as its season pass, a Motorsports Deluxe Pack that contains several outfits and vehicles, an 11.81" × 5.9" crew-themed license plate, steelbook case, a 25" × 20" roadmap and four stickers.
