The Crew Motorfest will get a crossover with Tomb Raider: the game will feature puzzles, a new island, and a winch

Ubisoft and Crystal Dynamics have announced a cross-franchise expansion that brings Lara Croft into The Crew Motorfest. The premium DLC, titled "Tomb Raider: Secrets of Niʻihau", will launch on October 7, 2026, serving as the centerpiece of Season 11 and initiating the fourth year of support for the game.

Rather than continuing the series’ usual competitive racing focus, the Season 11 playlist will reorient Motorfest toward adventure and exploration. Players will gain access to a newly opened area — the previously closed Hawaiian island of Niʻihau — where gameplay emphasizes puzzle-solving and the search for ancient artifacts among island ruins.

To support the exploration-focused design, Motorfest will add a new, functional winch mechanic to help players overcome obstacles and clear blocked roads. The expansion will also introduce themed vehicles modeled after Lara Croft, along with five additional exclusive cars.

"Tomb Raider: Secrets of Niʻihau" will be included for Year 4 Pass holders and sold separately as paid DLC on PC and PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The island of Niʻihau will appear on the in-game map for all players, but entry to the location will require purchase of the expansion.
