Former Toys for Bob concept artist Nicholas Kole hints at a canceled Crash Bandicoot 5. The revelation came alongside news of another scrapped project, "Project Dragon," which Kole clarified was a new IP, not Spyro, developed with Phoenix Labs. Kole's tweet sparked considerable fan disappointment, highlighting the anticipation for a new Crash Bandicoot game.
The cancellation news follows Toys for Bob's transition to an independent studio after separating from Activision Blizzard earlier this year. While the studio is now partnered with Microsoft Xbox for publishing, details about their first independent title remain scarce.
The last mainline Crash Bandicoot game, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, released in 2020, achieving over five million sales. Subsequent releases included Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! (2021) and Crash Team Rumble (2023), the latter ending live support in March 2024.
With Toys for Bob's newfound independence, the possibility of a future Crash Bandicoot 5 remains open, though the timeline remains uncertain, leaving fans anxiously awaiting further updates.
