Ubisoft has now revealed the March patch notes for The Crew that will be out next week.
March’s patch update for The Crew will be available for you to download from March 18th. It’s a very huge patch as a lot of fixes have been made to the game.
The Crew is now available on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Features:
New PVP mode available – Blitz Brawl
-Blitz Brawl is a fast-paced game mode where players rush to scoring zones and fight to stay within them.
-A scoring zone is activated by the first player who enters it and remains active for the next 10 seconds. During this time, any player inside the zone will score points. Bonus points are also awarded to the player who activated the zone.
-After 10 seconds, the zone is deactivated and a new one will instantly appear, randomly chosen from a list. Stay alert!
-In team games, the team’s total points are what count. Working together is crucial.-
Blitz Brawl comes with 10 new missions – 2 for each region.

-This mode no longer takes in account the factions of the players.
