Crackdown 2 Gets Animated Series

Ruffian Games have partnered up with Machinima.com to bring out a series of animated shorts depicting the story that falls in between the two different Crackdown games.

The first episode was just released today, with follow-ups planned for May 28th, June 4th, June 11th and the final chapter on June 21st.

Rather than using in-game assets, the pieces are animated by artist Alex Ronald.

The story showcases a mystery by introducing how things are "today" in Pacific City and hint at the person who was behind how things got so messed up.

Check out the first of five videos in the embedded youtube video below. It's an exclusive for them, so we don't have a hard copy ourselves.
