Playing out as a endless-runner style game, Crash will venture through many of the series’ classic levels such as Temple Ruins, Turtle Woods, Bear It and more. Players will fight bosses, craft new weapons, acquire new customisable options and have the ability to play with friends.

“Drawing inspiration from Crash’s vibrant history we plan to bring back classic characters, bosses, enemies and lands and wrap them in a brand-new adventure for gamers to play on the go.”
It’s not just mobile that Crash Bandicoot will be his appearance onto this year. A new sequel titled Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One this October.
