It appears to be like like Activision has greater plans for Crash Bandicoot that transcend only a one-off remake.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy did fairly nicely final 12 months, for a sport launched on one platform (PS4), exceeding Activision’s expectations. But this isn’t the tip of Crash, and we have now affirmation that extra is within the works from probably the most unlikely of locations.
In the latest difficulty of Licensing Source Book Europe commerce journal, merchandising firm GB eye revealed that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will see a launch on PC, and Nintendo Switch this 12 months. What’s extra, in 2019, a brand new Crash sport will likely be launched.
It’s not clear if “new” on this occasion means a sequel, or a remake/remaster of an previous sport. Seeing because the trilogy already obtained its due final 12 months, the corporate might be referring to a brand new sport fully. GB eye has a licensing settlement with Activision for all issues Crash, so it could know if the model will likely be seeing new developments within the close to future.
“The new game was a huge success at retail with no marketing spend,” licensing supervisor Max Arguile mentioned (through Push Square).
“Next year, it’ll be going broader (Switch and PC) and there will be another game in 2019. Activision have a five year plan for this.”
It’s attention-grabbing that Xbox One was omitted of this dialog, although not utterly shocking given Crash’s historical past with PlayStation.
