Microsoft has said that they believe RUffian Games is ‘the right team’ for developing Crackdown 2. The first game was developed by APB developer, RealTime Worlds.
“We own the Crackdown IP and we could have just found another developer out there and done something called Crackdown 2 but as you and others know, it’s one of my favourite games of all time; so I personally wanted it to be special if we went ahead with a sequel.” Microsoft Game Studios’ Phil Spencer said.
“If there was anyone that was a stickler about commissioning a new one, it was me. I didn’t want to just turn the crank.
“It would have been easy to chase the money but, again, I wanted to make sure that anything we work on is correctly nurtured. We had to find the right team who really understood what game it is – and that was Billy and the team at Ruffian.”
Ruffian seems to come off as a good developer, so we’re waiting to see what they got come the release of Crackdown 2.
