Chances are you’ll recall that, final month, a Crash Bandicoot 4 character designer and illustrator spoke of “the Crash 5 that by no means was”. There weren’t any additional particulars concerning the recreation itself, however it closely implied {that a} Crash Bandicoot 5 was within the works, solely to be cancelled sooner or later through the recreation’s growth.
Properly, because of Did You Know Gaming in a brand new video posted immediately, we now have extra data. The cancelled Crash Bandicoot 5 was going to be a crossover recreation with Spyro the Dragon, the place Uka Uka would acquire entry to an inter-dimensional portal to journey to Spyro’s universe, use magic on the Dragon Elders and threaten each Spyro and Crash’s worlds. Crash and Coco would come and go from Spyro’s world to foil Uka Uka’s plans, whereas concurrently assembly Spyro and restoring the Dragon Elders.
As for playable characters, Nina, Cortex and Coco have been all thought-about. In the meantime, there have been discussions of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro being playable collectively. For instance, there was one concept being handed round of Crash driving on Spyro’s again. As for the sport as a complete, different concepts have been being thought-about, such because the amassing of dragon feathers, the return of Realms from the unique Spyro recreation, and extra gender-swapped alternate universe characters just like those in Crash 4.
Sadly, the sport by no means occurred. Improvement for Crash 5 lasted only some months from summer season to November 2020, and most of it concerned idea artwork and pre-production early demo environments. Activision then cancelled the sport on account of Crash 4 not assembly gross sales expectations and Activision’s want to shift from single-player video games with massive budgets.
