The MMO-style racing game just wrapped up a third closed beta today, its first on consoles following two PC trial runs. The publisher explained in a blog post that more time in development would allow the developers to improve the game and implement player feedback, and another beta will be coming in November.
November 11 is also a busy day for game releases: Ubisoft itself is launching both Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Rogue on that day, and 343 is set to release Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The Crew Creative Director Julian Gerighty explained the delay, and what the team hopes to accomplish.
