There have been strong rumours floating around over the last few months regarding a brand new Crash Bandicoot game. Following the huge success of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, an eventual announcement seems inevitable, but as it happens, it looks like Crash is back already -- although probably not in the form that you were hoping for.
The scoop comes from JumpButton and Motwera on Twitter, who have uncovered a Crash Bandicoot mobile game from Candy Crush developer King (a studio which, it should be noted, is owned by Activision Blizzard). It appears to be some kind of basic platformer. The duo managed to dig up assets from the title's marketing campaign, and it all looks completely legit. You can probably expect an official announcement in the near future.
Of course, the existence of this Crash Bandicoot mobile game doesn't mean that other Crash Bandicoot projects aren't in the works. We'd still put our money on there being a new console Crash title in development right now.

Crash Dash.
At least it will rhyme. (I was forced to write.)
I think that's wonderful news!
What's that?
You were expecting and wanted a new Crash game to usher in the 9th generation consoles?
Don't you guys have phones?
Lol crash endless runner. Poor crash. Should have known the trilogy and racing were anomalous from Acti.
Maybe something in the meantime to keep people interested before they announce a new crash PS5 launch game!?!?
This is the norm nowadays, so I'm not really surprised Crash is on an endless runner mobile game.
You want extra lives? No probs, visit the Crash store & buy some Wompa fruits to unlock some!! Wanna warp thru the grindy levels buy a crash card!! (NB Crash card odds can vary)
No thank you. Mobile games are cancer.
The only mobile games that are not cancer are console ports or games that are available on console and mobile.
However, true mobile games that are just built to make money and get you addicted (rather than entertain and amaze) are the ones without spending limits where you can spend thousands and still not unlock everything. Games that show adverts every 30 seconds or make you wait or pay for your next go. These games are built for children in order to get them addicted and make them spend money on a useless pastime.
A single mobile game with a handful of people working on it can make more money than some traditional studios can dream of making.
Money is why these big companies make these games, not because they care about a franchise or the fans.
@Kienda someone hasn’t tried Apple Arcade.
@kyleforrester87 I have not. If it is like a more tradition gaming experience mixed with Netflix where you pay the monthly fee and the games offer no paid content, then that is great.
The thing is most mobile devices aren’t Apple and most kids will play free games rather than paid for ones. So mobile games will be here for a long time.
Oh jeez, it isn’t even a proper game like the Apple Arcade ones. Brilliant.
@Kienda yup it’s a sub with no adverts, some quality games too to be fair. There is a free month, it’s worth having a go if you have an iPhone. I was pretty impressed with Ocean Horn 2.
You know what, this could be pretty fun. I'm sure it'll have all the usual mobile game tricks, but I'll play and enjoy this for a bit.
After publishing one of the best games ever, Sekiro, Activision and to balance themselves by craping out shovelware
Let's be fair not all mobile games are terrible and rip you off. I play Door Kickers on android and Arma and they are both amazing games with no adds and the additional content is new levels and weapons. Maybe they might surprise us and release a good mobile game but it's not likely.
To me, “Activision Blizzard” is synonymous with corporate greed and a complete disregard for its consumers.
I love you, Crash. But I’m gonna pass.
There's been many Crash games on mobile in the past. I don't care.
Crash's first ever level is basically an endless runner anyway.
It'll probably be fine. Apart from the usual MTX shenanigans of course.
@kyleforrester87 I’m gonna try it out. Thanks for the heads up.
This reminds me of something. Wasn’t a Sega suppose to be making announcements regarding Sonic throughout the year? Have they started already?
