Crash Bandicoot For PC Archives

Crash Bandicoot is coming to iOS and Android as an endless runner mobile game, with the help of Candy Crush developer King. Along with the likes of Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot is arguably one of the most popular platformers dating back to the early PlayStation years. From the screenshots and gameplay shared by the studio, it appears that the upcoming smartphone title may have gameplay that's akin to other endless runners like Subway Surfers or Temple Run.

The upcoming mobile platformer, titled Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!, is developed by King, whose repertoire include the uber-popular Candy Crush Saga, which has seen over a billion installs on the Google Play Store, and over 1.6 million ratings on the Apple App Store. Some of the Sweden-based studios other releases include titles such as Farm Heroes Saga, Bubble Witch Saga and Papa Bear Saga.

Launched as a PlayStation exclusive back in 1996, Crash Bandicoot is set in the magical Wumpa Islands, where the eponymous marsupial takes on the evil Doctor Neo Cortex by dashing through impossible platforms and crashing through crates to collect powerups.

In the mobile version, players will get to explore challenging new levels and even craft wacky weapons to take on classic villains, including Doctor Neo Cortex. In a fun addition, the app will also allow gamers to customise and play with their own version of Crash Bandicoot. The official announcement trailer also revealed that the app's multiplayer feature would allow players to team up with friends and other gamers as well. Going by the revealed graphics and the fun gameplay, it seems like King is staying true to the original title to keep hardcore fans happy.

Although no official launch date has been announced by King yet, interested players can pre-register now in order to unlock an exclusive reward when the game launches.

The N.Sane Trilogy, a remastered collection of the original Crash Bandicoot games, appears to be just the beginning of the resurgence of everyone's favorite, shirtless marsupial. According to the spring 2018 edition of the License Source Book Europe (page 97), Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC sometime this year, as well another title in 2019.

GB eye, a European supplier of licensed merchandise, noted that the success of the N. Sane Trilogy spurred a long-term plan for Crash Bandicoot games. "The new game [the N. Sane trilogy] was a huge success at retail ..." said Max Arguile, licensing manager of GB Eye. "Next year it will be going broader (Switch and PC) and there will be a new game in 2019. Activision have a five-year plan for this and GB eye is delighted to be fully on board for all products."

Crash Bandicoot The N. Sane Trilogy has been a successful reboot for Activision, with the company stating it has been the best-selling remastered collection for PS4. To see what we thought of this collection, check out our review.

Our Take
I'm a big fan of the idea of taking Crash Bandicoot with me on the Switch, but I'm more curious as to what the 2019 phase of Activision's five-year plan will bring. Will we be getting a brand new Crash Bandicoot game? Will Crash Team Racing get the same remaster treatment as The N. Sane Trilogy? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping more for the latter, but regardless, it's an exciting time to be a Crash Bandicoot fan.
