The Crew 2 joins up with Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

Ubisoft and Ivory Tower have announced that when The Crew 2 is released next year, players will have access to the Harley-Davidson motorcycle range.

“We are thrilled to partner with Harley-Davidson in The Crew 2. Harley-Davidson is a legendary, global brand, deeply rooted in American culture,” said Ahmed Boukhelifa, Studio Managing Director at Ubisoft’s Ivory Tower studio. “The partnership was a natural fit as Harley-Davidson represents the same thirst for unrestrained exploration and the American passion for all things motorised that has inspired our vision for The Crew 2.”

First to appear in the game will be a Harley-Davidson Iron 883 motorcycle, with bare-knuckle minimalism and garage-built style. The Iron 883 is a nimble urban machine that kicks asphalt. Additional models will be integrated over time, allowing players of The Crew 2 to pick up their favourite Harley-Davidson motorcycle and shine in a near limitless world built for motorsports. Celebrated as a historic American brand, Harley-Davidson motorcycles echo The Crew 2’s vision to bring players the ultimate US motorsports experience.

“Harley-Davidson has a storied past of celebrating the American spirit, freedom and love of the open road,” said Heather Malenshek, Vice President Global Marketing & Brand for Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “For almost 115 years, our customers have explored American cities and roadways with our motorcycles. With the launch of The Crew 2, we hope to inspire more people, young and older, to engage in the sport of motorcycling”

Players can sign up for access to the beta, though no dates have been announced for it. The final game is expected to ship for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in early 2018.
