Microsoft Drops Huge Hint on Crackdown Sequel

In the latest Major Nelson podcast, Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson has dropped a huge hint that a Crackdown sequel is close to reality.

“I’m here to tell you on behalf of the community, I want – we need – another Crackdown,” Xbox Live’s director of programming, Larry Hryb, told Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer in the latest Major Nelson podcast.

“That’s all I’m going to say, so you don’t have to confirm for deny anything. I’m just saying we want it.”

“Yes, Crackdown’s one of my favourites,” said Spencer. “I’ll leave it at that.”

This summer, RealTime Worlds Studio Boss Colin Macdonald stated that a sequel never formed because “the numbers just didn’t add up”.

He did mention he was open to negotiations, however.

“I don’t think the door’s closed,” he said. “Obviously, right now we’re tied up with APB and everything else, but hopefully in the future we’ll have the resource and something can be worked out with Microsoft.”
