Crackdown 3 delay6/7/2023 Loftis remains optimistic about the Xbox One X launch lineup, however, pointing to a number of other games that will soon arrive with enhancements for the console. Crackdown 3 was due to launch on the same day as Microsoft's new console, acting as a platform to show off its power with enhanced 4K visuals. We want them to really feel the larger-than life enemies as they're exploring the expansive open world, combatting crime and collecting orbs.Īside from being a blow to fans who will now have to wait a tad longer for the game to arrive, the delay also signals a blow to the launch lineup for the Xbox One X. Just last week, Amazon cancelled a number of preorders, fueling speculation about a cancellation, which Microsoft denied. Among other items, we are taking the extra time to focus on the visual polish so gamers can feel completely immersed in a living world. Rumors have been abound that Crackdown 3 was not going to make its proposed date after the Spring 2018 target came and went with no word. What we showed at E3 was a preview of the game, and is a great indicator of the level of mayhem and vertical platforming action you can expect from Crackdown 3. The extra development time will give the team time to "focus on the visual polish," Loftis says. In particular, Loftis points to the game's visuals, which were a point of criticism when it was shown off at E3. Gamers can expect Crackdown 3 in Spring of 2018. For consumers, this was one rare exclusive title for the Xbox One family of consoles and a reason to bother with the Xbox One X. Getting the balance right between the three modes is important, and we are going to take the extra development time to ensure that. The Crackdown 3 delay deals a blow to the Xbox One Xs chances at regaining marketshare for Microsoft in a console race thats seeing both Sony and Nintendo prosper. The open-world Xbox One and PC sandbox game is now coming in February 2019, which is close to three years after it was supposed to come out. 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. It was reported on Reddit earlier today that Amazon Spain had canceled all preorders for Crackdown 3, the high-flying action game that was announced at E3 all the way back in 2014. However, we want to make sure to deliver the right game, with the right quality, and at the right time. We're very excited about Crackdown 3, and so are many fans, and so it's a difficult call to move the release date.
