Forza Motorsport Faces Uncertain Future After Major Xbox and Turn 10 Layoffs

The future of Forza Motorsport looks uncertain following significant layoffs at Turn 10, the studio behind the game, with reports suggesting the franchise has been 'shuttered' and the studio shifting focus to support Forza Horizon and future projects.

The Crew Motorfest: A Rollercoaster of Fun and Frustration

The Crew Motorfest, the latest installment in the franchise, offers a wackier and wilder take on open-world racing similar to Forza Horizon. With a wide array of vehicles including cars, boats, planes, and bikes, players can freely switch between them at any point. However, the game's odd progression system and limited customization options for events hinder the overall experience, making it frustrating for those seeking more freedom in their open-world racing games.

"Exploring the Exciting New Playlists at The Crew Motorfest"

The upcoming racing game, The Crew Motorfest, introduces themed Playlists that offer a curated racing experience, similar to Forza Horizon's 'Horizon Stories'. These Playlists, such as Made in Japan and Vintage Garage, focus on specific car themes and objectives. The game also features a Main Stage with monthly events and post-release support. Motorfest includes air, sea, and land vehicles, with the ability to switch between them. The game's map, based on O'ahu, is smaller but more detailed than The Crew 2's continental USA map. The Crew Motorfest is set to release in September 2021.

"Reviving the Spirit of Adventure: The Crew Motorfest Returns to its Roots"

Ubisoft's upcoming game, The Crew Motorfest, set to release on September 14, takes inspiration from Forza Horizon with its open-world racing and festival-like atmosphere. The game is set in a downscaled version of Hawaii's O'ahu island and offers a diverse range of events and disciplines. While the preview access experience was hindered by streaming limitations, the visuals and handling seem promising. The game aims to create a rich and detailed world, sacrificing map size for a more immersive experience. Players will need to choose their vehicles strategically as different terrains require different types of vehicles. The Crew Motorfest is set to release on current and last-gen platforms.
