News of the delay was announced via Microsoft’s Publishing General Manager, Shannon Loftis, who said the game needed more time to ensure it delivers on “all the awesome that Crackdown fans want.”

Crackdown 3:campaign, coop, & Wrecking Zone is moving to spring 18 so we can make sure we deliver all the awesome that Crackdown fans want. https://t.co/dwWPJ25NXq

In an interview with Polygon, Loftis said that moving the game’s release date was a “difficult call”, but a necessary one.
 
“We want to make sure to deliver the right game, with the right quality, and at the right time. Crackdown 3 is a hugely ambitious game and we want to ensure we deliver the right experiences all the way through every part of the game, whether that’s campaign, co-op multiplayer or our competitive multiplayer mode, Wrecking Zone.”
 
“Getting the balance right between the three modes is important, and we are going to take the extra development time to ensure that.”
