Crackdown 2 Release Date Announced

Microsoft has released a new video for Crackdown 2.  To celebrate the road to the launch of this anticipated title, Ruffian Games and Microsoft invite fans to step into the world of Crackdown 2 in the first video documentary, titled “Fun with Friends,” from a three part series exploring different facets of the game.

“Fun with Friends” features interviews with Ruffian Games Creative Director Billy Thomson, Producer James Cope, Senior Engineer David Hynd and Senior Mission Designer Dean Smith as they discuss what it takes to design a living, breathing sandbox world combined with a gripping multiplayer experience, including 16 player PvP and four player co-op.  The video documentary also shines a light on some of the extraordinary antics and mayhem that players can look forward to, including Renegade Orbs and the PvP mode called Rocket Tag, when they bring their personal brand of justice to Pacific City.

At the end of the video the release date is also announced for July 9, 2010.  With this release happening approximately three weeks after E3 this year one can assume that we will hear a lot about it from Microsoft throughout E3 week.  Check out the new video below and tell us what you think.
