10 Major Video Games Coming In 2019 You Need To Play
8. Crackdown 3
Release date: February 2019
Crackdown 3's troubled development cycle has seen it drift from must-have status to teetering on the edge of meme status thanks to its numerous delays, but this time, Microsoft promises, there won't be any last-minute disappointments.
The Agency and its superpowered agents will return, next year, to dish out justice - this time under the banner of Commander Jaxon, the new face of Crackdown 3 played by Hollywood BFG (no, not the gun from Doom) Terry Crews - and, as before, the concrete playground Agents are let loose upon will be under the control of various gangs and their kingpins, mimicking the lauded non-linear approach to progression present in the originals.
The big selling point, however, has - and remains - to be the introduction of cloud-based gameplay systems, though it remains to be seen whether destruction on a city-wide scale so boisterously demoed at E3 2014 will make it in for launch.
Crackdown 3's success ultimately hinges on whether it feels like a game that's floundered in development hell for half a decade or one that lives up to the promises originally made on-stage four years ago.
Fingers crossed for the latter.
