Word on the street is that Crash Bandicoot 5 was canceled, according to a former Toys For Bob concept artist. Let's dive into the details of Nicholas Kole's recent revelation.
Another Project Bites the Dust: "Project Dragon"
Former Toys For Bob concept artist, Nicholas Kole, hinted at a canceled Crash Bandicoot 5 in a recent X (formerly Twitter) post. The post initially discussed another scrapped project, "Project Dragon," sparking speculation (even from Sonic comic writer Daniel Barnes) that it was Spyro-related. Kole clarified it was an entirely new IP developed with Phoenix Labs, but then dropped the bombshell about Crash.
"It's not Spyro, but someday folks will hear about the Crash 5 that never was, and it's gonna break hearts," Kole stated.
As predicted, fans reacted with disappointment and shock. The cancellation of a potential Crash game hit particularly hard.
Earlier this year, Crash developer Toys For Bob went independent, separating from Activision Blizzard, which was subsequently acquired by Microsoft. Interestingly, Toys For Bob is now collaborating with Microsoft Xbox for their first independent game, though details remain scarce.
The last mainline Crash Bandicoot game, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (2020), sold over five million copies. This was followed by the mobile title Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! (2021) and the online multiplayer game Crash Team Rumble (2023), which ended its live service in March 2024. However, Rumble remains playable on current-gen consoles.
With Toys For Bob's newfound independence, the future of Crash Bandicoot 5 is uncertain. Whether this long-awaited sequel will ever see the light of day remains to be seen, leaving fans anxiously awaiting an update.
