Should have gotten a stealth cancellation.

Maybe they feel Crackdown 3 is actually a good game? Having played Fable Legends, that was a boring game.

Also, if its a half decent game then it will help push Game Pass.

I can't help but wonder how much money has gone into this game.

Who knows, but a five year development isn't that uncommon. Could have had a smaller team?

Sumo was working on other games while being the primary developer of this game.

It's less about the time than the fact that several studios have been involved in development during that time, including building new technology for the cloud aspect.  And who even knows what complications resulted from losing some of the original developers to Epic.  All of that adds to overhead, especially if there is a bottleneck in the pipeline.  It also wouldn't surprise me if some aspect have been retooled after the not-great-reception the last time the game was shown, which would mean more resources invested.  We'll see.  I do hope we get the whole story one day.

Well that's many AAA games, there is a primary studio doing the heavy lifting and other studios helping on other aspects. Especially when you consider the engine(s) is often licensed. It sounds like Sumo has always been the primary developer and they're using tools and assets from other studios.

However, I don't think Crackdown 3 will be profitable and I don't think it'll be a critical darling. At this rate MS needs to make good on some old promises, pump out first party content, and of course encourage people to subscribe to Game Pass. The ambitions of Crackdown 3 was a risk from the start this is the kind of risk many studios aren't making these days.

Hopefully all the delays ensured we have a game as enjoyable or more than the original. If so, Crackdown fans will be happy.

Looks as if they’re just selling the campaign portion for now and the multiplayer will come at a later date.

Maybe the multiplayer and campaign are separated.

Given how ambitious the multiplayer is, maybe they don't want it stuck behind the actual game. Personally I feel it should be F2P with microtransactions. I did see a mention of being able to customize your player and it will be discussed later.

Edit: Look like I was correct about them being separated. Crackdown 3 is a bundle of two items, Campaign and Wrecking Zone (multiplayer). So its certainly possible the multiplayer could be treated as its own purchase, given away for free, etc. Its gonna need more modes to become popular though.

So Februari 15th it launches, on disc and game pass as well. Multiplayer is on smaller arenas, 5 against 5, destroy the opponents tower. Could be fun for a while, although battle arena has taken over multiplayer gaming nowadays.
