With the resounding success that was Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, it’s just a matter of time before Activision announces more Crash Bandicoot video games. And according to a new leak, Activision actually has more than one Crash Bandicoot video game up its sleeve, one that’s a “PvP” game and another that’s a remaster of the first Crash Bandicoot from the PS2 era.
This leak comes courtesy of TheGamingRevolution, who has accurately leaked information about Activision games in the past, particularly when it comes to Call of Duty. They have since made the claim that a new PvP Crash game is in the works alongside Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex Remastered. For the uninitiated, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex was the first main series Crash game that wasn’t developed by Naughty Dog and earned mixed reviews at the time of its release.
A Wrath of Cortex remaster would give the developers the opportunity to address the shortcomings with the original and deliver a game that’s better-received by the community. In the meantime, it’s less clear what TheGamingRevolution means by a “PvP” Crash Bandicoot game, but a couple of distinct possibilities spring to mind.
It’s possible that the PvP Crash game is a new racing game. After all, Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled was a big success when it released last year, and the developers have stopped releasing new seasonal content for it. It stands to reason that support was ended for that particular racing game so the developers could focus on a new title, though that remains to be seen.
Another possibility is that the PvP Crash is a remaster of Crash Bash. Crash Bash, for the uninitiated, is the Crash Bandicoot-equivalent of Mario Party. Like The Wrath of Cortex, Crash Bash received somewhat mediocre reviews at the time of its original release, so if it is in development, hopefully the developers do something to ensure that it’s better-received by fans.
Of course, it’s possible that the PvP Crash game is something else entirely. It’s also possible that none of this true, and fans should keep that in mind as well. While plenty of accurate leaks have come from TheGamingRevolution, it’s possible that their information is off this time around. However, it is a safe bet that more Crash Bandicoot games are on the way in some capacity, but fans will just have to stay tuned for official announcements by Activision.
New Crash Bandicoot games are rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
