Crash Bandicoot 5 Allegedly Canceled After Studio Went Indie

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 entirely new IP developed with Phoenix Labs. He then added the bombshell about a never-released Crash Bandicoot 5, predicting fan disappointment. His prediction proved accurate, with fans expressing significant upset at the news.

Crash Bandicoot 5 Allegedly Canceled After Studio Went Indie

The cancellation comes amidst significant changes for Crash developer Toys For Bob. The studio transitioned to independence earlier this year, separating from Activision Blizzard following Microsoft's acquisition. 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 exceeding five million copies sold. Subsequent releases included the mobile title Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! (2021) and the multiplayer Crash Team Rumble (2023), the latter of which concluded its live service in March 2024.

With Toys For Bob's newfound independence, the future of Crash Bandicoot 5 remains uncertain. Whether this potential fifth installment will ever materialize remains to be seen, leaving fans anxiously awaiting further news.
