Crackdown 3news directly from Microsoft and Sumo Digital’s mouth continues to be sparse, but a recent new listing for the game on an Australian ratings site has given us our first piece of new info in quite some time.
Over on the Australia Classification Board, a new rating forCrackdown 3was listed. The game was rated as an MA 15+ title with the central point of the rating seemingly stemming from “Strong Violence.” The MA 15+ rating, as you probably already guessed, is comparable to an M rating that we’d normally see from the ESRB here in the United States. As of this writing, now listing forCrackdown 3has appeared on the ESRB’s website.
Ratings as a whole aren’t usually that big of a deal and are rarely something we report about here at DualShockers, but the bigger piece of news associated with this rating is that it seems likeCrackdown 3is finally going to end up releasing.
Originally revealed at E3 in 2014, many began thinking thatCrackdown 3would never end up coming out simply due to the length of time between its announcement andits scheduled release date. After having been delayed from a release date in 2017 and pushed forward nearly 18 months, it seems like this rating is finally an indication that the open-world game will, in fact, be launching on-time in February. Thank goodness.
If I had to guess, we’ll likely hear 3later this week during XO18. The game isalready scheduled to be playable at the showandXbox head Phil Spencer has recently stated that he’s played a full build of the gameover the past month. All of the small tidbits of news we’ve received onCrackdown 3have seemed positive. Let’s just hope it has a good showing at XO18.
Crackdown 3is scheduled to release early next year on an undetermined date in February. If you’d like to pre-order it ahead of that time, it’scurrently available to snag over on Amazon.
