Things are not looking good for Microsoft’s next exclusive title, Crackdown 3. Last month, there were rumours suggesting that the game has been delayed to 2019 and today, Kotaku has reported that – according to its sources – the game will be indeed delayed until 2019.
According to Kotaku’s sources Microsoft hopes to give the development team the time it needs to avoid yet another disaster. After all, both State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves had major issues at launch.
Microsoft has not commented yet on these rumours so take them with a grain of salt. Our guess is that the big publisher will reveal more about Crackdown 3 during its E3 2018 conference this Sunday.
Crackdown was originally meant to hit stores in November 2017, however, in August 2017 the company announced that the game would be delayed to Spring 2018.
UPDATE
Microsoft has announced that Crackdown 3 will be indeed delayed to 2019.
“Our fans’ response to the signature antics and explosive gameplay of “Crackdown 3” has been incredible. To ensure we deliver the experience they deserve, “Crackdown 3” will be launching in Feb 2019. We look forward to sharing more on “Crackdown 3″ this Sunday during the Xbox E3 2018 briefing.”

They might as well just cancel it!
I think they should!
No
Why? Does our man, Terry Crews need more POWAAA? We got his back, man….
Let’s hope they use that time to make the game look presentable. It looked five years out of date already when it was announced.
Just go watch that gametrailer they released back then and see why this game delayed a lot
I know this my objective opinion but what is so appealing about this game seriously I don’t even know why this game is a topic to be talked about the game is udderly trash in my opinion really trashed there’s no incentive nothing that’s appealing about this game in my opinion. I know the developers are working hard to make this game no Faults to them but to me I think they should have created a different game and this game sucks
You don’t understand because you haven’t seen the 2014 crackdown demoed with “the power of the cloud” that is going to revolutionize the Xbox One (original) and make it 8x as powerfull. Search for it on Youtube please.
Who even gives a damn any more.
Development hell this is.
I never understood whats so appealing about crackdown series the 2 games were far from being amazing and from the gameplay video ive seen of the third one i dont think this one will be anything special
The issue with Crackdown 3 relates to “the power of the cloud”. In 2014, at the beggining of the console generation, Microsoft saw that their console was graphically inferior to the competition so they LIED and said that their console “trought the power of the cloud” was going to multiply it’s power by at least 8 times. So they demoed it (lie) in a crackdown 3 video from 2014. Go see it and you will understand.

The game they showed wasn’t any better than the second game that came out last gen and that was bad by last-gen standards.
