Things have changed in Pacific City since the events in Crackdown. Starting today, fans can take a look down the back alleys and behind the locked doors of Pacific City with an exclusive premiere of the Crackdown 2 animated mini-series with episode 1, titled “Home Truths.”
Animated by seasoned comic artist and illustrator Alex Ronald, you’ll see the vibrant world of Crackdown 2 like never before, as the Agency, Cell and Freaks bring Pacific City to the brink of destruction. With the Voice of the Agency returning to narrate the way, you’ll go deep behind enemy lines, scour the underground and experience more of the explosive action leading up to the Xbox 360 exclusive launch in July.
The first Crackdown took place in the fictional metropolis of Pacific City, where the Agency – an organization using genetically enhanced soldiers known as Agents – was contracted to rid the city of three powerful crime syndicates. The saga continues 10 years later in Crackdown 2, with new enemies (the Cell and the Freaks) that stand in the way of the Agency’s goal to bring Pacific City back under control. After the events in the first Crackdown, a dangerous virus was released and those who were infected – the Freaks – began ravaging the city. A civilian resistance, called the Cell, also formed to take the fight into their own hands by mounting offenses against the Agency. Players return as Agents in Crackdown 2 to once again bring peace to Pacific City – by any means possible.
