Open beta for The Crew "makes sense"

Could Ubisoft's MMO racer be opened to all ahead of its release?
Mike Holmes 9 April 2014

At a recent hands-on event to see The Crew, we caught up with Julian Gerighty and found out where the game was in terms of development, and asked what was still left to do.

"We're still in the closing phase, so we're still making some tough decisions on content," he told us. "It's a great moment and a really bad moment, because you see some of your design features get cut or pushed back. But, polish, and we're still working on making the launch as painless as possible - that's with closed betas and different things that we're going to be doing around that."

We wondered if they were planning on doing an open beta for the game, considering the desire at the studio for a smooth launch."I can't talk to you about that. I wish I could, but I can't. But it makes sense," Gerighty revealed, with a glint in his eye that made us think something was planned in that direction.

To read the full interview you'll need to check back on the website tomorrow, but our hands-on impressions can found right here.
