When does Crackdown 3 release?

The Xbox One X version runs at native 4K resolution alongside higher-quality effects.
How big is the game?
On Windows 10:
Wrecking Zone - 4,05 GB
Campaign - 21,7 GB
Does the Windows 10 version support unlocked framerates?
Yes.
Can I play this game in co-op?
Yes. Campaign supports full co-op, including cross-play between Xbox One and Windows 10.
Matchmaking with friends for Wrecking Zone is coming in an upcoming update.
Can you only play as Terry Crews?
No. Terry Crews aka Jaxxon is one of the agents you can choose in Crackdown 3. You can unlock a lot more agents with different abilities and level-up curves by finding their DNA Orbs in the open-world.
How does your character progress in campaign?
The system is called "Skills for kills". There are multiple categories you can level up during your play through.
1. Agility - Collect all the Orbs in the world using platforming gameplay.
2. Firearms - Kill enemies using standard weapons
3. Strenght - Kill enemies using melee combat or ground-pound.
4. Explosions - Kill enemies with explosions or explosive weaponry.
5. Driving - Drive with style or kill enemies with vehicles.
You can level up each category. Reaching a new level in each category will grant you more mobility or new skills. Every time you gain XP for the categories, small orbs flying towards your character will give you feedback about your achieved progress. The game feels like a completely different experience if you comparing a level 5 agent to a level 6 agent.
Does your character progress visually, too?
In Crackdown 3, your body armor visually transforms with you the stronger you become. The more progress you make within the "Skills for Kills" system the more advanced you look.
What makes Crackdown so unique?
Orbs. Freedom. Fun.
CD3 isn't a game about narrative or cinematic storytelling. The game doesn't ignore your input just because it needs to wait for an animation. It puts fun and the player above everything else. Crackdown 3 is a bit like Super Mario - just with guns and explosions.
How big is the open-world?
The city in Crackdown 3 is pretty big. Not only is it over twice the size of the original Crackdown, on top it features 1,000 orbs for you to find. And since verticality is key in Crackdown, the highest tower touches the sky at 1.2 km height.
I heard this game features destruction?
Wrecking Zone features completely destructible arenas using Microsoft Azure off-load calculations for competitive multiplayer matches. The campaign can be played offline and thus does not support cloud-powered destruction physics. The campaign however still includes a fair amount of destruction, focusing on both props and big explosions.
Which engine is this game running on?
The campaign runs on Unreal Engine 4. The exact engine of Wrecking Zone is unknown at the time of writing this.
Who developed Crackdown 3?
The campaign always was in the hands of Sumo Digital.
Wrecking Zone had multiple studios behind it. Front and center for the version you are playing today is Elbow Rocket and Certain Affinity. There were multiple other, smaller studios involved during the development process, as an example Sequence developed the comic intro graphics for the boss fights in campaign.
Quack, Quack, Motherducker?
The game makes some funny use of ducks throughout the game to highlight that it doesn't take itself too seriously and it's all about the fun. There are billboards in the game featuring the "QUACK, QUACK, MOTHERDUCKER" slogan as well as a weapon that shoots explosive ducks etc.
