Yesterday, Jason broke the news that Crackdown 3 was being delayed to February next year. And ahead of their E3 conference next week, Microsoft has confirmed that delay in a statement.

It’s an unusual move and another blow to Xbox’s already weak first-party lineup for 2018.”]
The statement was issued to Windows Central, and says more will be shared about the game at the Xbox conference Monday morning:
Our fans’ response to the signature antics and explosive gameplay of “Crackdown 3” has been incredible. To ensure we deliver the experience they deserve, “Crackdown 3” will be launching in Feb 2019. We look forward to sharing more on “Crackdown 3” this Sunday during the Xbox E3 2018 briefing.
One positive about the delay is that it does give Sumo Digital more time to work on polishing and refining the gameplay, time that Fable Legends and Scalebound unfortunately never got. And it also means Crackdown 3 will launch well away from Red Dead Redemption 2, too.
