The Crew Is Coming Back Online This Month, Thanks To Fan-Made Mod
"Rock Paper Shotgun spotted that the "server emulator project" is close to releasing, with the fan-made team saying, "All that is left to do is to thoroughly test and validate the software." The Crew Unlimited also stressed that it's "not affiliated with publisher Ubisoft or developer Ivory Tower in any way." The mod will be available for free."
"Ubisoft shut down The Crew servers in March 2024, making the game unplayable since it requires an online connection. That means owners of the game couldn't even check out the single-player campaign. This led to a couple of fans filing a lawsuit against Ubisoft over The Crew situation. In the aftermath of the uproar, Ubisoft has announced offline modes are on the way for The Crew 2 and The Crew: Motorfest."
"There is also a Stop Killing Games movement that started after The Crew was shut down. In July, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked about the campaign during a shareholders meeting. "And we are doing our best to make sure that things go well for all players and buyers, because obviously support for all games cannot last forever," said Guillemot at the time. "But that's an issue that we're working on. That's something that the industry at large is working on, to minimize impact on players.""
The Crew Unlimited, a fan-made server emulator project, will revive The Crew on September 15 and will be free. The team said all that is left is thorough testing and validation and emphasized it is not affiliated with Ubisoft or Ivory Tower. Ubisoft shut down The Crew servers in March 2024, rendering the game unplayable because it requires an online connection and preventing access to the single-player campaign. Fans filed a lawsuit over the shutdown and a Stop Killing Games movement emerged. Ubisoft announced offline modes for The Crew 2 and The Crew: Motorfest. The Crew launched in late 2014 and received Wild Run and Calling All Units expansions.
