Activision reportedly canceled a Crash Bandicoot 5 that also starred Spyro because it wanted more live-service games
Activisio💟n didn't think Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time had sold well enough to garner a sequel

A new report claims tಌhat Activision greenlit and canceled a single-player Crash Bandicoot 5 while it continued to chase more live-service games.
YouTuber and gaming historian Liam Robertson (Did You Know Gaming?) just r🦂eleased a new video report investigating what happened behind-the-scenes at developer Toys For Bob, where he alleges that a Crash Bandicoot 5 was in the early stages of development, but was soon scrapped based on what Activision considered to be underwhelming sales for Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time - which sold over five million copies, according to its design director .

Crash Bandicoot 5 was apparently set to be a direct sequel to Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, while alleged concept art and story concepts reveal that the sequel planned to reintroduce classic villains, possibly fea꧟ture levels set within character's psyches, bring back elements from 2004's Crash Twinsanity, and even 🎃crossover with fellow platforming icon Spyro The Dragon.
"Crash and Spyro were intended to be the two playable characters," the report claims, though it doesn't seem like Spyro would just be backpacking into Crash's solo adventure. It sounds like the two would essentially share the 🌜game, as both their worlds come under a multiversal threat.
That version of Crash Bandicoot 5 was sadly canned around the same time as Activisioꦿn's alleged cancelation of a single-player Tony Hawk Pro Skater game, while Toys For Bob were then put to work on short-lived multiplayer spin-off Crash Team Rumble.
Toys For Bob have since become an independent studio following 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's Activision Blizzard buyout and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a round of brutal layoffs for the company, but it did recently announce it had signed a deal with its former owners at Xbox to develo🀅p a brand new 𒐪game. A differently sh🍎aped follow-up to Crash or Sp🐽yro is definitely not impossible, then.
