Microsoft sets Crackdown 2 date?

Even though we have a slight worry that the original developer, Real Time Worlds, isn't at the controls this time (even if members of the original team are), we're still pumped with excitement for Crackdown 2. The original remains one of the absolute treats of the Xbox 360 software catalogue, and if you can get past the fairly pedestrian first hour, it's a really, really enjoyable game.

The sequel, which has been a long-time coming, has been in production for some time, and a post at Xbox.com - which has since been removed - has revealed that the release date for the game is June 11th. This hasn't been officially confirmed, but it sounds about right from where we're sitting.
