Transforming vehicles will also be returning – they were absent in the second instalment – and the game’s set in a huge new city.

Microsoft has not made it clear whether the game will offer any kind of single-player elements or will focus exclusively on multiplayer action.

Aside from the obvious visual upgrade of the third game in the trilogy, Crackdown 3 is promised to be bigger and better than its predecessors in every way.

Phil Spencer stated that Microsoft should push even harder for more genre diversity among its first party Xbox One games. The real draw here is that the game has totally destructible environments. Developed by original creator Dave Jones, Crackdown 3 delivers cooperative mayhem and an all-new multiplayer mode where destruction is your ultimate weapon powered by Microsoft Cloud.”.

The FPS Battlefield series is also well-known for destructibility, especially its latest entry Battlefield 4 (PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC) released in 2013 which coined the term “levolution”.
