10 Upcoming Open World Games We're Most Excited For

3. The Crew

Even for those like myself who are not very interested in racing games, The Crew still shows up on the radar. Ubisoft's third appearance on this list so far gives players control of a stunt racer who infiltrates criminal organisation. Plot developments will of course ensue that force players to do insane stunt races against both A.I. and other players, and it is exciting to see if this new IP can come into its own in a genre where Need for Speed is so dominant. Although the single player story is reportedly 20 hours long, most time in the game will undoubtedly be spent racing around the gigantic open world. While most racing games give players a sandbox city to race around in, The Crew offers up the entire United States with zero loading screens, meaning people can go from New York to L.A. in one consistent drive (in about 90 minutes!). Several cities like Chicago, Miami, Las Vegas, and many others are explorable, but in between those cities players can lose themselves on the open roads of America. The Crew doesn't have a release date yet but can be expected in the July/August/September range of 2014. With such a large open world and a guaranteed multiplayer mode, players can expect to be engrossed for a long time.
