Recently, Phil Spencer shut the rumors down once and for all. In response to whether Crackdown 3 was still in development, Spencer said, Microsoft Studio’s general manager also gave a lot of praise to the game in a recent interview claiming that the Crackdown 3 campaign would be worth the wait. She also added that player actions will have huge consequences, something never done before: “Yep, saw a build the other day, looked good. One thing I love about CD, you know it from a single frame, look is iconic”, Spencer further tweeted. The third installment in Microsoft’s series of open world shooters dates back to 2014 at the E3 conference and was officially unveiled for the very first time at E3 2015 but failed to appear at E3 2016. There are also reports that Crackdown 3 is going to be released for Windows 10 as an Xbox Play Anywhere title like the recently released ReCore, Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4. There is still no concrete information on a release date or when the purported open beta for multiplayer is taking place. It was back in summer when the release of Crackdown 3 was confirmed to happen early next year, so there’s no denying that gamers were overwhelmed by the news given the massive success of the first two Xbox 360 installments. Amidst all let down caused by the cancellation of several titles this year, the reassurance that Crackdown 3 will materialize some time next year has definitely lifted the hopes of many gaming fanatics who have a good taste in shooting games.
