Report: A Crash Bandicoot Multiplayer Game Is in the Works

comingsoon.net:

and both reinvigorated the long-dead franchise, but its future has remained unclear due to reshuffling at Activision and the silence since ‘s release. However, a new report states that the series is getting another entry, but it won’t be a platformer. Instead, it is said to be a multiplayer title.

As noted by PureXbox, Windows Central Editor and insider Jez Corden took to the Windows Central Gaming Podcast to speak about this game. Around an hour and 29 minutes into the episode, Corden was prompted about a new installment. After some joking, he said it would be a multiplayer game and a “four-player brawler, almost.” While possibly unrelated, he later replied to a tweet about a new, the Eurocom-developed party game that released in 2000, saying it would be “very hot.”

However, he said it wasn’t called, which brings back another rumor from last year. Liam Robertson from Did You Know Gaming? tweeted in September 2021 that  was a stand-alone game or expansion that was a “competitive multiplayer collectathon platformer with open 3D environments.” It allegedly had players collecting fruits they would then have to bank in order to score, as well as  a “cool traversal mechanic.” A banner saying “Wumpa League” was also in a promotional video on Twitter in November 2020, which could somewhat echo the masks found in an ad that teased  over six months before its reveal.

But the fate of it seemed ambiguous since he claimed that some were second guessing the concept and others got unceremoniously taken off the project. Robertson then recently said this title doesn’t seem connected to the one Corden spoke of.

Toys for Bob has not specifically talked about Crash’s future, yet the team did say that we would “see more of him very soon”
