On Tuesday, Activision revealed that “Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time” will be coming to new platforms, such as PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and PC. And with that huge news also comes other teasers of other “fun festivities” for the rest of the year to celebrate the 25th anniversary. We and the official social media account got one question in mind:
What new platforms will you be playing #Crash4 on? Let us know in the poll below! (or comments)
The year 2020 was pretty rough for everyone, despite the high mark of the release of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time on October 2, 2020, which was the first brand-new game in 12 years, on PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, as well as the reveal for “Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!” by King. These are the following scores for each independent platform on Metacritic: 85 on PlayStation 4, 83 on Xbox One and scored 85 with an 92% recommendation average on OpenCritic. Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, there has been a more limited amount of merchandise that had come out in 2020, including the Numskull Crash 4 Lineup, Pyramid’s lineup of Crash merchandise, and more. Crash 4 did not receive DLC, but has been speculated that it could in some shape or form (like in a PVP game, if rumours are to be believed), and we could see more happen around this year with the 25th anniversary of the franchise.
Crashy News is now on its 9th year! (10th anniversary in 2022), in 2020, the performance was the strongest its ever been, even better than 2017’s performance!
This is thanks to the advent of news for the much-needed boost from the announcement of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!, going through the news, leaks, rumours, events and fandom creations. Crashy News has reached a total of 366,245 total views for 2020. The most viewed post has received 5,857 views (First Look at Crash Bandicoot Mobile by King (Information, Screenshots and more)). Let’s go in details over what happened and what has Crashy News has achieved this year.
Throughout the year, we were constantly talking about Crash 4, CTR Nitro-Fueled and sometimes about N. Sane and Spyro Reignited Trilogy at the end of it, merchandise rolling out and all the memes, issues and other things surrounding Crash Bandicoot. The most popular posts on the site in 2020 were (Excluding Home/Archive):
In conclusion, Crashy News has done a great job yet again informing, sharing the best of the Crash Bandicoot franchise to fans all around the world, including me who is writing this article and bringing out the fans all together while being the fan. Lets all hope for the best for 2021, when the new PVP game hopefully comes out around sooner or later, alongside the mobile game.
The year 2020 was a mixed and negative year, despite the positives that has gotten. Still though, it hasn’t stopped the bandicoot from flourishing with the release of ‘Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time’, the first brand-new game in 12 years, which received with rave reviews and general fan praise and some mixed reception on a few aspects with the game. In addition, rumours of more projects on the way to make 2021 a more exciting year for the bandicoot, especially given the fact that it’s gonna mark the 25th anniversary for the series. This year sadly also marked the end of content update support for ‘Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled’ despite ending it on a high note with the Beenox Pack update back in March.
And finally, a brand-new mobile game is one of the first things that will launch globally on iOS and Android, ‘Crash Bandicoot: On the Run’ by King, finally putting Crash back on the map on mobile, since the debut of ‘Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2’ in 2010, a sequel to CBNK 3D 😉.
Expect this year to bring the following things: Mobile game, PvP game, animated show, and Crash 4 ports for Nintendo Switch and PC. Maybe even joining Super Smash Bros Ultimate…
