Microsoft has announced that Crackdown 3 has been delayed until Spring 2018, claiming that the development teams need extra time in order to ensure a quality gameplay experience.



I can’t say I’m all that surprised. The game was first announced at E3 2014, targeting a release at the 2nd half of 2016. Then at Gamescom 2015 was when they announced the “real time destruction” that would be cloud powered using Microsift Azure, an extremely ambitious goal to say the least. I’m quite a big fan of the Crackdown series, but this one may be on the hype-train to Disappointmentville.

“Crackdown 3 is a hugely ambitious game and we want to ensure we deliver the right experiences all the way through every part of the game, whether that’s campaign, co-op multiplayer or our competitive multiplayer mode, Wrecking Zone. Getting the balance right between the three modes is important, and we are going to take the extra development time to ensure that. Gamers can expect Crackdown 3 in Spring of 2018.”
