Crackdown is intended to seamlessly blend the co-op and singleplayer aspects of the game, creative director Ken Lobb has said.

Speaking to OXM, Lobb said that the aim was to allow players to choose to play with friends whenever they wanted.

Choose at will in the game, instead of hiding behind menus and loads and lobbies. Just make the gameplay as if it's one big thing.

Crackdown will release on Xbox One, although the release date is still unknown.
