E3 2018: Crackdown 3 Is Basically Terry Crews: The Video Game

Crackdown 3 has been on the radar for a while now. Originally revealed in 2014, it is no stranger to long periods of silence before new information comes to light. At their E3 press conference Microsoft showed off a brand new trailer featuring narration from none other than comedian Terry Crews.

Watch as Terry shows us how you can scale buildings, collect those ever-present orbs, become more powerful and even summon a mother $#*@ing tank out of thin air!

Despite a long development cycle spanning nearly 5 years, Crackdown 3 will release in February 2019 for Windows PC and Xbox One.

The Crackdown series has been a staple on the Xbox line of consoles for over a decade now. The original Crackdown released all the way back in Feb 2007 and at the time promised players a chance to take part in the then upcoming Halo 3 beta. Crackdown 2 had a whole “zombies but not zombies” horde thing going on and was a bit of a departure from the first.

Perhaps the injection of Terry Crews’ humor is just what this long in-development game needs to stay fresh.
