Current Events > Crackdown 3 delayed to Spring 2018.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Crackdown 3 will no longer launch on November 7 alongside the Xbox One X. Microsoft confirmed today that the Xbox One and PC action game is now coming in Spring 2018.

In a statement to Polygon, Microsoft Studios GM Shannon Loftis said delaying the game will give studios Reagent Games, Sumo Digital, and Cloudgine the time they need to deliver the "hugely ambitious" game to their quality standards.

"We’re very excited about Crackdown 3, and so are many fans, and so it's a difficult call to move the release date," Loftis told the site. "However, we want to make sure to deliver the right game, with the right quality, and at the right time. 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."

More specifically, Loftis said the extra time will give the development teams the time they need to "focus on the visual polish" in an effort to make a game that "completely" immerses players in a "living world."

Xbox One X. Your place to play a selection of games the PS4 has at higher resolution!

Halo Wars 2, Forza and I suppose Cuphead are the only first party games from Microsoft this year right? What a joke. They're launching a new console this year.

This game is gonna bomb so bad. It could have got a few sales from the Xbox One X launch but now it won't even have that.

I'm sure part of the reason is because the previews during E3 basically said the graphics looked like shit, even on Xbox One X. It would be hard to make an ugly-ass game the prime launch title for your supposedly "most powerful console ever" whose only purpose is to make current gen games look better, but costs twice as much.

At least Sony made the PS4 Pro just $100 more than the Slim, with a 1 TB drive as well. You could justify the purchase over the base model just with the HDD upgrade and 4K support.
