The
Crackdown website has word that Windows 10 will be one of the platforms for
Crackdown 3 when the action/adventure sequel is released next year
(thanks
DSOGaming). The announcement mentions the game's multiplayer support, but
does not specify if there will be cross-platform play between the Windows 10 and
Xbox One editions. Here's what they do say:
At E3 2014, we announced the
return of the Crackdown franchise with the unveil of our newest title –
Crackdown 3 – and established an exciting and ambitious vision to redefine
open-world gaming. Then at gamescom 2015, we showed that creating completely
physical and destructible multiplayer environments is possible through the power
of Microsoft Cloud and Xbox Live. Today, we are excited to confirm that
Crackdown 3 will be available for both Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs, and will be
an Xbox Play Anywhere title so you can buy one and play across either device.
Crackdown 3 is a game built for the future with a multiplayer experience that
will redefine what it feels like to play games, and as we continue to work on
this, it has become clear that our original timeline of delivering multiplayer
to fans this summer, while maintaining the size, scope and quality of the game,
would be challenging. Our top priority is to give gamers an experience they have
never seen before at a scale never thought possible, and sticking to our
original timeline would have compromised that goal.
We know that many are looking forward to becoming Agents in Crackdown 3 and we
are committed to delivering the best experience in 2017. This decision was made
with our fans and their gaming experience in mind.
While we won’t be at E3, we cannot wait to show you the future of Crackdown 3
soon.
