10 Hyped Video Games In Development (That Will Never Be Released)

Despite a seemingly-firm February 2019 released date, Microsoft's and Sumo Digital's Crackdown 3 has pulled the rug from beneath so many Xbox One owner's feet that few take the product seriously at this point. Initially planned to release in November of 2017, some have speculated that the upcoming third installment to an on-the-whole underwhelming series would have been flat out cancelled had Microsoft not already axed the much-anticipated Xbox One exclusive Scalebound.

With their competition boasting commanding exclusive titles this console generation, Microsoft has struggled to supply consumers with a solid reason to own an Xbox One. Despite a few tepid Halo and Gears of War releases, Xbox One sales remain lagging behind those of other industry titans.

Crackdown 3 needs to be a hit for Microsoft. Unfortunately, the game's numerous delays, constantly-shifting staff, and overall tenuous premise point to that not being the case. Naysayers will doubtlessly be willing to go to bat for this title, and, in all fairness, it does stand a pretty strong chance of releasing at some point. However, few would be all that surprised if the project were to be delayed at least once more prior to it's official launch.
