Crash is coming back with a new console game, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, but that’s not the only new appearance from the long-dormant wacky mascot. Crash Bandicoot: On the Run is a mobile runner that adapts the familiar platformer gameplay into a mobile runner from King.
The announcement notes that this Crash game adds elements like crafting and base-building, with plenty of references to classic environments, characters, and bosses. The story revolves around Dr. Neo Cortex taking control of the multiverse, allowing for classic stages like Temple Ruins, Turtle Woods, and Bear It.
The game is coming to iOS and Android devices, but in the meantime you can pre-register through the official site to unlock a Blue Hyena skin from Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
