Sure, it seems to be like Crash Bandicoot 5 was actual, and it apparently would have featured the precise crossover you've all been wanting for years

It has been beforehand claimed that Crash Bandicoot 5 was within the works, and now a brand new report has shed some very purple gentle on the sport.

Again in July, a developer that beforehand labored at Crash Bandicoot 4: About Time developer Toys For Bob claimed that Crash 5 was within the works, although did not share all that a lot about it. They did observe that some day individuals will hear about it and “it is gonna break hearts,” and that actually feels correct, as in a brand new video from Liam Robertson at Did You Know Gaming, some particulars have been shared concerning the cancelled Crash 5 – probably the most notable facet of the sport being that it could have been a crossover with none apart from the bandicoot’s PS1 co-star Spyro the Dragon.

Yeah, proper off the bat it sounds such as you’ll have to get some superglue to fix that damaged coronary heart of yours, as whereas Crash and Spyro have had some crossovers right here and there, they’ve by no means had one which’s a traditional 3D platformer like their respective video games. In accordance with the report, the sport would have been a direct sequel to Crash 4, with idea artwork and story particulars exhibiting some traditional villains in addition to some new ones, and would borrow from the PS2 entry Crash Twinsanity.

This then apparently developed into the Spyro crossover, the place you may play as each characters transferring via each other’s worlds, with some team-up strikes obtainable too. Tonally the sport would have been darker too, with the video games’ lore being extra vital this time round. In the long run, the sport by no means went previous pre-production, as Activision reportedly wasn’t proud of Crash 4’s gross sales following how widespread the N. Sane Trilogy remake was, as a substitute choosing a push in direction of live-service.

Crash did obtain a live-service recreation with Crash Workforce Rumble, however that stopped receiving updates in lower than a 12 months. However no, live-service undoubtedly is not a misguided factor for the video games business to attempt for!

Whether or not that is the tip for Crash or Spyro, is not precisely clear. Toys For Bob is engaged on a brand new recreation, and plenty of hope it is a new Spyro recreation, however you may simply have to attend and see for now.
