Crackdown 2 – We’ve Got A Release Date
So today we finally get to announce our release date for Crackdown 2 and that date is July the 9th 2010. It seems a long way away but to get into the stores on time we’re currently tweaking a few features but mostly squashing bugs like mofos.
July isn’t traditionally a time you’d expect to see a vidya game hit the shops but we’re hoping that’s going to work to our advantage. Honestly, the world cup will be over, going outside will probably give you skin cancer so your best bet would a bit of X360 action courtesy of Crackdown 2 
Something else good happened today as well. A little while ago Microsoft interviewed a few of the Ruffian massive to get footage for a series of mini documentaries. To help get the Crackdown 2 marketing juggernaut underway the first of those was released today onto YouTube. And here it is:
The crueler twitterers out there have suggested subtitles may have been a good idea. Catty.
Phew! Right. Back to grindstone!
are you kidding, july 9th is a FANTASTIC time to release a game. the start of the summer holidays. AWESOME!
leave no bug unsquished folks, it’s gonna be a great summer
How come it’s coming out in NA/Canada before the UK when it’s made just up the road from me!! I’m in Fife BTW.
A bit odd as quite a few games recently have been release in Europe before other countries.
Regardless of that, I can’t wait to get the game. Going to pre-order now. Got to look after my fellow Scotsmen.
My thoughts exactly @MarkoUK
It would be quicker for me to drive to Ruffian to pick up my copy than waiting for Amazon to send it from Jersey
2 days before my birthday awesome!
it comes out in canada first because we rock
and shit i was hoping git came out may 1
So when is the demo being released?
Release the demo, I cannot wait to play this game!
Gameplay’s lookin sweet!
Please please make the rules sets as flexible as possible!
I’m really looking forward to this one. And I know you guys are ready to be done with it. Borderlands is brilliant in several ways, but was absolutely ruined by the lack of rules flexibility. A little flexibility multiplies a games replay value.
Just my $.02 toward a couple of easy tweaks.
The first Crackdown is still one of my favorite games. The sequel looks incredibly good.
Any word on a release date for the demo?

Hi guys, the latinamerican dubbing is terrible, the first part it much better (crackdown) but crackdown 2, aaaah… the localization is terrible, I have some comments for you:
the narrator says many time Pacific city and Pacific ciry, and some Iberian terms like: “Corren tiempos dificiles instead “son tiempos dificiles” some kind of, but we have a extended list with errors for you if you like.
thank you
