The Crew Kicks Off a College Tailgate Tour
Ubisoft recently delayed its open-world racing game The Crew from its Nov. 11 launch to Dec. 2. But some college football fans will get a chance to play it anyway in The Crew College Tailgate Tour, a six-week event that will bring the game to college football games and let fans of rival teams compete in the game.
“College rivalry games have intensity unmatched by any other sporting event,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft in a Ubisoft press release. “What better way for fans to show their pride and play a role in their team’s rivalry than to take on opposing fans in The Crew and race to prove who is best?”
The game will be transported on two specially-outfitted trucks that will travel the country. Ubisoft will be giving away prizes like t-shirts, games and consoles at the events. The schedule is as follows:
October 18: UCLA (Los Angeles, CA) at Cal (Berkeley, CA)
October 25: Texas Tech (Lubbock, TX) at TCU (Fort Worth, TX)
November 1: Florida (Gainesville, FL) vs. Georgia (Athens, GA)
Game day activities at neutral ground in Jacksonville, FL
November 8: Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL) at LSU (Baton Rouge, LA)
November 15: Florida State (Tallahassee, FL) at Miami (Coral Gables, FL)
November 22: USC (Los Angeles, CA) vs. UCLA (Los Angeles, CA)
The Crew will be out Dec. 2 on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4 and PC. Before launch there will also be a closed console beta in November on PS4 and Xbox One, which you can sign up for here.
