Crackdown 3 ei saa omaa Battle Royalea

Fortnite, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ja sittemmin myös Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ja Red Dead Online ovat osoittaneet, että Battle Royale -pelimuodossa on edelleen imua. Sumo Digitalin tulossa oleva Crackdown 3 ei kuitenkaan aio seurata trendin perässä ainakaan näillä näkymin.

Microsoftin Head of Production for Global Publishing, Jorg Neumann, kertoi asiasta haastattelussaan Windows Centralille. Battle Royalea ei ole tulossa.

"[We] prototyped a bunch of modes. We have all kinds of dreams how this can take off. [People] were asking about Battle Royale, "why aren't there 100 players?" There's a reason we have five versus five, and the map sizes too. There's so much stuff that you need to keep in memory, due to the destruction, that there's limits. Once you have a map that is a nice size and creates the pace of destruction the way we dreamed of it, having more players can be counter-productive, but we're still experimenting, tech will evolve too."

Crackdown 3 julkaistaan 15. helmikuuta 2019 Xbox Onelle ja PC:lle.
