A Ubisoft prepara o lançamento de The Crew 2, a continuação de seu jogo de corrida de mundo aberto. O game, que será lançado dia 29 de junho para PlayStation 4, PC e Xbox One, será a chance para algumas pessoas dirigirem a picape Mercedes-Benz Classe X. A fabricante alemã está distribuindo códigos para que os jogadores possam experimentar a Classe X no teste beta que começou dia 31 de maio e irá até o dia 4 de junho.
Mais do Classe X:
O Mercedes Classe X que os jogadores irão usar no jogo é um pouco diferente do modelo que estará nas concessionárias brasileiras em 2019. Os desenvolvedores do The Crew 2 mexeram ligeiramente na carroceria para deixar a picape um pouco mais robusta, com para-choque equipado com ganchos e pneus maiores. Assim como os demais carros do jogo, o Classe X poderá ser pintado de outras cores, dando um toque de personalização.
Já faz quase um ano que a Mercedes revelou o Classe X - basicamente uma versão da Nissan Frontier com alguns toques da marca alemã. Quando a Mercedes lançou a picape, tinha três opções de motorização. Os modelos X220d e X250d usam o mesmo motor 2.3 turbodiesel da Frontier, com 163 cv e 190 cv, dependendo da versão. A variante a gasolina é a X200, com o 2.0 turbo de 166 cv. Usam transmissão manual de 6 marchas e a X250d pode ser equipada com uma caixa automática de 7 posições. Agora a fabricante prepara o lançamento da X350d, a mais potente da linha e que adota o motor 3.0 V6 turbodiesel de 258 cv feito pela própria Mercedes.

Pickup with the star goes virtual: Off-road mission for Mercedes-Benz X-Class available in upcoming video game "The Crew 2"
Stuttgart. Highways, dense forests, rocky tracks – in Ubisoft® upcoming video game "The Crew 2", players experience all kinds of adventures both on and off-road in a action-packed open world – and now also at the wheel of the new X-Class from Mercedes-Benz.
The world's first pickup from a premium manufacturer is part of the virtual Open World adventure of "The Crew 2", which will be released worldwide on 29 June 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The X-Class plays the lead in a tailored mission of the "Rally Raid" discipline, which takes place off-road. Once players have successfully completed this race, they will be rewarded with the exclusive vehicle. The X-Class is also available in "free roaming" mode, which allows the entire map of the racing game to be explored.
X-Class mission available to play as part of exclusive The Crew 2 Closed Beta period from May 31 to June 4 ahead of official release
The X-Class mission is also part of the free Closed Beta Version of the game, which will be available from May 31 to June 4. During this limited period, a pool of selected players will get their hands the game before its release and experience the X-Class. Mercedes-Benz Vans is making 5000 access codes exclusively available for this purpose. These will be published as of now on social media channels Facebook (@Mercedes-Benz) and Twitter (@Mercedes-Benz) and can be redeemed on a first come, first served basis.
After entering this code at www.thecrewgame.com/beta/mercedes, players can select their desired hardware platform. A platform-specific code then makes it possible to download the actual Closed Beta Version from PlayStation Network, for Xbox Live or the PC platform Uplay. To be able to download and play the closed beta version, an Ubisoft account is required.
Individualisation of the X-Class and numerous other models from Mercedes-Benz in "The Crew 2"
The developers of "The Crew 2" have given the virtual off-roader some extreme tuning touches that differ from the equipment options available in the real world: larger tyres, a winch on the front bumper and a loading area cover prepare the pickup for the racing missions in the video game. Players can also customize their X-Class using the game's configuration options and can, for example, select their desired colour and wheels.
Furthermore numerous other models from Mercedes-Benz can be choosen in "The Crew 2". Players can select e.g the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé (1955), the C 63 AMG Black Series, the AMG GT or the GLC Coupé.
The first car racing game to be designed as a massively multiplayer online game, "The Crew" so far has 14 million players worldwide. More information is available online at:
