News of a potentially canceled Crash Bandicoot 5 has surfaced, hinted at by former Toys For Bob concept artist, Nicholas Kole. Kole's revelation came during a July 12th X (formerly Twitter) post discussing another scrapped project, "Project Dragon." While initially speculated to be Spyro-related, Kole clarified it was an original IP developed with Phoenix Labs. He then added the impactful statement: "It is not Spyro, but some day folks will hear about the Crash 5 that never was and it’s gonna break hearts."
The news understandably upset fans. The cancellation rumor comes after Toys For Bob's transition from Activision Blizzard to an independent studio earlier this year, following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Interestingly, Toys For Bob is now collaborating with Microsoft Xbox for their debut independent title, though details remain scarce.
The last major Crash Bandicoot release was 2020's Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, a commercial success with over five million copies sold. This was followed by the mobile title Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! (2021) and the multiplayer game Crash Team Rumble (2023), the latter of which concluded its live service in March 2024.
With Toys For Bob's newfound independence, the possibility of Crash Bandicoot 5 remains uncertain. Whether this potential fifth installment will eventually be released, and if so, when, remains to be seen. The wait continues for eager fans.
