The Crew Motorfest’s next Season update begins on 7th October, bringing a new location, over 20 new cars and a new playlist.

The Crew Motorfest Season 11 adds free island and expedition missions

Marking the start of a fourth year of live service updates, Season 11 is expanding Ubisoft’s open-world racer with another new island to explore. Set on the Hawaiian island of Kaui, the location is as large as Maui, which was added in 2024 as another free expansion, according to Ubisoft Ivory Tower.  

Seemingly inspired by titles like SnowRunner, Expeditions: A Mud Runner Game and Over the Hill, Season 11 will feature an off-road expedition theme. Across eight events, a new playlist will see you navigate Kaui’s treacherous swamps, canyons and forests, relying on a compass to find the right path instead of a GPS.

Selected vehicles can also be equipped with a winch to tow other stranded vehicles, clear obstacles such as fallen trees blocking the pathway or deliver cargo.

The first mission sees you embark on a rescue mission, while the second has you recover and deliver a missing crate to a campfire. Later event objectives range from crossing a canyon to escape an incoming storm to driving a buggy across a cliffside.

Another event focuses on a motocross race, before the playlist culminates in a time attack challenge encompassing every biome.

Alongside the main playlist are side missions where you photograph animals in the wild, including birds, horses and dolphins, with 40 species inhabiting the island.   

As for new cars, Season 11 is headlined by the arrival of the Bugatti Tourbillon, which makes its PC and console racing game debut. It will star in a special Proving Laps event, offering up to 500 Prestige tickets as a reward.

The successor to the Chiron utilises an 8.3-litre, naturally aspirated V16 and three electric motors delivering a combined 1,775 hp, with only 250 examples entering production.  

Befitting the off-road theme, the Tourbillon is joined by the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. Packing a 5.2-litre V10 producing over 600 hp, it’s designed for driving off the beaten track thanks to its increased ground clearance and suspension travel.  

Other new cars coming in Season 11 include the Hyundai Crater Concept, Cadillac Ct5-V Blackwing and Italdesign Zerouno.

Completing all eight playlist events unlocks the 2018 Suzuki Jimny Rally Raid. In total, Season 11 will add 23 vehicles, with more yet to be confirmed.

Elsewhere, the TrackForge circuit creator will be updated in Season 11 with over 200 elements, allowing players to create and share custom off-road courses.

Further ahead, Ivory Tower is aiming to add PVP, enabling players to compete with each other on the same custom track. The developer also teased that TrackForge will be expanded with an “official competition.”  Since TrackForge launched in March, the community has created over 150,000 custom tracks.

Tomb Raider expansion 

Coinciding with Season 11, The Crew Motorfest is also getting a surprise Tomb Raider tie-in with a paid expansion dubbed Secrets of Ni’hau. Ivory Tower worked closely with Crystal Dynamics to capture the ambience of Tomb Raider, with players exploring ancient ruins, finding clues and solving puzzles while trying to escape the island.

Featuring eight playlist events, the expansion is set on a new, separate island based on Hawaii’s Ni’hau island. The announcement trailer teases several action set pieces, from driving out of a collapsing temple to evading a dinosaur.    

Five vehicles will feature in the expansion, including the Mercedes-AMG G63 6X6 SUV:

  • Mercedes-AMG G63 6X6 (2013, Rally Raid)
  • Kimberlite HP-18-160 Carmina (1968, Plane)
  • Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES (2021, Rally Raid Bike)
  • Suzuki Quadracer R450Z (2008, Rally Raid)
  • Proto A500 (2016, Special Edition Helicopter)

Completing the playlist unlocks the Kimberlite HP-18-160 Carmina. Alongside the new vehicles, there are also 25 animals to photograph, 17 treasure chests to collect and three photo quests.

Season 12 and 13

Beyond Season 11, future updates planned for Year 4 were also teased during The Crew Motorfest’s annual Showcase presentation.

Season 12 will be dedicated to Asian cars, with new models including the Honda Prelude (2026), Mitsubishi Eclipse GT V6 (2009) and the Yangwang U9 Xtreme (2026) electric hypercar joining the roster alongisde a themed playlist.

Season 13, on the other hand, will focus on service vehicles, including taxis and limousines, but is still early in development.

The biggest surprise, however, is the addition of full-size semi trucks as a new vehicle category. While no other details were confirmed, they will presumably be used in Euro Truck Simulator-style long-haul delivery missions.  

Season 14 will conclude Year 4, but details are being kept under wraps.

To celebrate The Crew Motorfest’s third anniversary, all players who log in within the next 72 hours will receive a Ford Bronco for free.
