In an interview with Eurogamer, boss of Microsoft Studios Ken Lobb has revealed that the newest Crackdown game will not follow traditional naming convention. Even though the last sequel was called Crackdown 2, the Xbox One version won’t be Crackdown 3. “I don’t like X game number seven,” said Lobb. ” It’s a good idea sometimes to have a game with a subtitle. But some games, and Crackdown is a perfect example, is it really 3? It is the future. This is a different place, long after the original game. But is it 2? Is it a different universe than 2? Yeah, it’s kinda a sequel to 1. It’s Crackdown.”
Crackdown for Xbox One was announced at Microsoft’s E3 press conference last week. So far no gameplay footage has been shown but we do know that the game will feature both co-operative and competitive online multiplayer.
