Don't think any Crackdown 2 news is coming, folks photo

Hopeful readers may have convinced themselves that the launch of a brand new Crackdown NXE theme could herald the arrival of a sequel to one of the Xbox 360's most empowering and amusing games. Unfortunately, Microsoft has denied that any such news is forthcoming, so you can put away your dreams of punting lorries into people's faces for now.

"We are always looking for new ways for fans to connect with their favorite games, including the award-winning Crackdown, and thus we created the new theme pack," stated an MS rep to OXM. "But as far as future or potential projects go, we have nothing to confirm or announce at this time."

Sorry folks, no Crackdown 2 just yet. Still, we can keep our fingers crossed, because Microsoft would be bloody stupid not to release a sequel to that incredibly popular game.

If they do make a sequel, I hope there's split-screen co-op in this one. Don't get me wrong, I liked the online co-op in the first one, but too many games are getting rid of local multiplayer modes completely.

I had a dream last night that I bought Crackdown 2, Dark Void, and Prototype, all for the 360. I haven't played my 360 in months, Dark Void isn't even out yet, and I never owned Crackdown.

"We have nothing to confirm or announce at this time." That doesn't mean a goddamn thing. I'll put money down on Crackdown 2 making an appearance at Microsoft's E3 press conference, and I'm not the only one.

I read in GI not to long after the original came out that there were some issues between the devs and MS and that the crackdown sequel was given to another team .

I adore the first one. I'd be in line day 1 to buy a sequel. Maybe it'll come out for the Xbox 720.

Weren't there some February rumors of a "Crackdown 1.5" project that would focus more on multiplayer coming from Ruffian maybe this fall?

This is pretty much the same as "We do not comment on rumor or speculation", so my hopes are still up. I'm EXPECTING a Forza 3 reveal, and HOPING for a Crackdown 2 reveal.
