Xbox Joins the Pokemon Fever, Imagines GO Versions of Halo, Forza, and Crackdown

It doesn’t look like the Pokemon GO phenomenon is going to die down any time soon, so it’s best to just accept it. That’s what Xbox has decided to do, as they’ve imagined up what GO versions of their Halo, Crackdown, and Forza IPs would be.

We’ve caught the #PokemonGo fever and couldn't help but wonder what some of our games might look like… pic.twitter.com/BZNHxHKEwx

Lest you think that this could be a joke, they also legitimately asked gamers what games could get a reskin of Pokemon GO.

Quick Poll | Which games would you love to see get the 'Go' treatment? 🙂

Quite a few people were keen on Crackdown…

Crackdown Orb hunter where your phone makes the orb noise as you get near would be the bomb.

But others looked to Xbox franchises outside of Halo, Forza, and Crackdown.

Fable GO would be great, have quests to do in towns nearby, kill hobbes and balverines etc, earn gold to upgrade equipment.

Dead Rising, collecting weapons and zombrex.

Viva Pinata seems an obvious fit @RareLtd

For what it’s worth, all three of the games that the Xbox account threw out could have timely releases of their Pokemon GO equivalents. Halo Wars 2 is due out for release on February 21, 2017, while Forza Horizon 3 is releasing on September 27 later this year. Crackdown 3 doesn’t have a release date yet, but the series has experience with mobile titles, given that the last game had a mobile title called Project Sunburst. The fact that the account is legitimately asking what fans would like to see could mean that they’re testing the waters for future announcements.
