Crackdown returns as open-world Xbox One exclusive [Update: Trailer added]

Microsoft has revealed a new entry in its Crackdown franchise, one "powered by an army of dedicated servers" that offers the sort of open-world superheroic police warfare the series has been known for.

Series creator David Jones introduced a short vignette, before confidently stating that "we have the right team to build the game." Scant gameplay details were offered, but the game features both the de rigueur open-world campaign, as well as multiplayer and co-op.

So far there's no word on when Crackdown might arrive, though when it does it will be exclusive to the Xbox One.
