Beside reports stating that the game is an on going discussion, during the Microsoft keynote, Microsoft unveiled Crackdown 2 via a trailer.

Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 in 2010, Crackdown 2 will take multiplayer2 gaming to unprecedented levels for the ultimate cooperative and competitive multiplayer experience, providing you and your friends with the complete freedom to explore, destroy and play as you return to restore justice and peace to Pacific City — by any means necessary.

Lets state the obvious, we all know that developers are working on more games then they have announced, but with a developer like Realtime Worlds you can’t help but wonder what have the been working on the low, low?

Anyway, with a game like Crackdown under his belt, ex-Realtime Worlds developer Ross Nicoll revealed the projects that he has spent time working on at Realtime Worlds. And one of the games he spent time working on was an “unannounced project” for Realtime Worlds.

Here’s his work bio via his LinkedIn: “Started out At VIS Entertainment in 2003. Moved to Realtime Worlds in 2005. Member of the Crackdown audio team that won the 2007 “Best Use of Audio” BAFTA award. After Crackdown, I worked on APB, and another unannounced project. Left Realtime in Feb 2009 to take on the role of Audio Design Lead at Ruffian Games – www.ruffiangames.com.”

Another interesting point: Rumors have been floating about that Ruffian Games was formed to work on Crackdown 2. So, what is the “unannounced project”. We know that they are still working on it.
