, by Thibaut
We won't be hearing anything about the famous marsupial anytime soon. Indeed, after a fourth game with a mixed commercial performance, Activision seems to have to intention of going back to Crash Bandicoot.
Illustrator and designer Nicholas Kole has stated on X.com that Crash Bandicoot 5 has been cancelled. The main party has also added that "some day folks will hear about the Crash 5 that never was and it’s gonna break hearts." Alas, this is not the only project to be cancelled.
Affected by redundancies last May, Phoenix Labs has also cancelled Project Dragon. In development for three years, this was a cosy multiplayer survival with an RPG component. It featured building elements a la Minecraft and quests and characters inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
