Update 2: According to an unnamed source, the suggested name for the game is “Crash Bandicoot: On the Run”, with some additional screenshots from Canadian Guy Eh (via his new video).
Update: The link for the survey has been taken down and now redirects to Google instead.
NOTICE: This is not the rumoured or speculated next mainline title.
After some inspection and research done in collaboration with JumpButton (you can read more information about that in the other Twitter thread on how it came to be), it has been revealed that the supposed mobile game that was being floated around as a survey ad on Facebook around the end of November and beginning of December, is indeed happening as per Activision’s announcement today regarding King’s utilization and testing of other IPs from the publisher. Also, this is like the first new mobile game in like 10 years, since the release of Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 on iOS, among the other titles that might’ve not known even existed (Twitter Thread, Crash Mania). Anyways, this is a bit new so let’s try to get into the chase, shall we?
- Yes, this is an endless runner featuring crafting mechanics like Sonic Dash, you can play as Crash, Coco and Neo Cortex
- You can take the survey now via the link to get notified of when you will be able to get your hands on it
- There’s no set release date yet, but that link above leads you to a mockup of the respective store page of the game (A/B Testing to get you interested in the game)
- This game is being released to supplement console releases of Activision’s biggest IPs, as per quote from the slides:
- “King is investing in several promising new titles, including content based on Activision’s beloved catalog IP. Regional testing of some of these titles will begin in 2020”
