Toys for Bob could be working on a new Crash Bandicoot game, it has been suggested.
Speaking on the Windows Central Xbox Chaturdays podcast, Windows Central journalist Jez Corden hinted that he knew of a new Crash Bandicoot title in development in the studio behind Crash 4: It’s About Time, as well as the remake trilogy.
When another guest on the podcast, Rand al Thor, predicted that Toys for Bob might be working on a new Crash title that could possibly be shown at the upcoming Xbox and Bethesda show, Corden asked sarcastically, “Where did you get this? this information Rand? ” before saying later, “I shouldn’t have leaked this,” though I clearly deduced that it might be true.
VGC reported late last year that Toys For Bob was potentially hiring for non-Call of Duty projects, as suggested by a list on its internal racing site.
The studio, which developed the N.Sane Crash Bandicoot trilogy, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, and the Skylanders franchise, had recently become a support studio for Call of Duty, specifically the hugely successful free-to-play game. Warzone.
Last year, Activision Blizzard confirmed that all of its core studios are now working on the Call of Duty franchise, but at the time Toys for Bob still hinted that it would be working on the Crash franchise in some way.
The Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase will be held on Sunday, June 12th.
