Ubisoft’s decision to shut down servers for its open-world racer The Crew came as a blow to the game’s community. But, rather than remaining defeated by this news, a group of dedicated modders decided to take matters into their own hands – and began recreating the server-side software necessary to play The Crew online once again.
This fan-lead project, codenamed The Crew Revival (at least for now), currently has five members working on it. “We started pretty much as soon as Ubisoft announced the shutdown last December,” team member whammy4 told Eurogamer.
“It’s still the same game that everyone played before, except instead of connecting to Ubisoft’s central server, they will connect to ours (or a local server running on their computers if they choose to play offline),” he explained.
