First planned for November 2017, then delayed to 2018, the long-troubled action open-world game Crackdown 3 will now be out in 2019, according to two people familiar with the game's release plans. It's an unusual move and another blow to Xbox's already weak first-party lineup for 2018.

The third Crackdown game, developed by the British studio Sumo Digital among other companies, was first announced at E3 in 2014. Last year, Microsoft said Crackdown 3 would come out alongside the Xbox One X on 7 November 2017.

A polarising showing at E3 2017 and some severe development struggles led Microsoft to delay the game, first to a vague "autumn 2018" window, and now to next year, said those two sources, speaking anonymously so as to protect their careers.


lmao. I remember when the Crackdown symbol was seen during the Xbox One reveal. What the hell is going on with it.

I remember hearing about the first game in like 2006 and thinking "wow an open world game where you play as a super soldier? Cool!"

Then I played it and was bored as all hell

After the gems that were Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2, I guess Microsoft didn't need another ace this year.

I can't think of another first party company who has done this badly with their games in a generation. It's not like they have another platform to support like Sony's piss poor support for the Vita.

For a major game publisher they're doing pretty bad.

The problem isn't even necessarily the games they're publishing. Those games all do their job and serve their niche fine for the most part. But there needs to be more of them.

Closing down studios like Lionhead has really bitten them in the ass.

It's probably the game I am most looking forward to.

I loved the first 2. Collecting orbs is my thing.

It had a bad launch, and they did fix a lot of it back then. But it still has issues. The campaigns are mostly okay. The main issue there is a desync bug in Halo 2 co-op that makes a mission unbeatable if you have the misfortune of encountering it. Also there's some issues with Achievements not unlocking.

While I believe they will probably take the time to do this, I'd bet money that they simply didn't want to compete with Red Dead Redemption 2, Black Ops 4, Battlefield V and whatever else I'm forgetting that is coming out this holiday season because it's literally Crackdown 3.

is Crackdown 3 AAA?

I mean, if we're not considering Sea of Thieves I don't think we should consider Crackdown to be a AAA series. The only reason anyone gave a shit about it is because the first one came with a Halo beta.

Basically. But the game turned out to be pretty solid. Didn't exactly set the world on fire tho

Seriously, I mean the first one was alright, pretty fun but really nothing special. Admittedly I bought it for the Halo 3 beta.

I never played 2 but heard it wasn't great. Now like 10 years later it's apparently still continuing?
