Reports are surfacing that Crash Bandicoot 5, a much-anticipated sequel, has been cancelled in favor of pursuing more live service games. According to sources, Toys for Bob, the studio behind the Crash Bandicoot series, had begun early development on the new game. However, Activision decided to shift its focus away from traditional single-player experiences.
The decision comes after the disappointing sales of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, which led Activision to reconsider its approach to the franchise. A report from gaming journalist Liam Robertson revealed that the studio was working on a new single-player title, tentatively titled Crash Bandicoot 5. The concept reportedly involved a school for villainous children, with classic villains making a comeback and potential crossovers with other characters like Spyro the Dragon.
However, as Robertson noted, “Activision wanted to put more resources into live service games,” a trend that has been growing in popularity within the industry. This pivot likely influenced the decision to shelve Crash Bandicoot 5.
This move has left many fans and developers disappointed. Some speculate that this decision could indicate a broader trend within the gaming industry to favor more financially sustainable game models over traditional single-player games.
