54 Crackdown 3

Release date: spring tbd

Delayed from its November release (which, in turn, was delayed from an original 2016 target), this sequel to 2010's open-world shooter Crackdown 2 should finally surface this spring.

Due for PC and Xbox One, the newest Crackdown comes from a different development team than the disappointing previous installment. Expect plenty of destruction and over-the-top action. There's a single-player campaign as well as co-op and competitive online multiplayer, with the latter taking place in a separate, fully destructible city called the "Wrecking Zone." The voice cast is led by Terry Crews—and, yes, he voices a playable character.
