The project has been in the air since the beginning of the year, but it now has a name and a roadmap. While Activision announced a new Crash Bandicoot mobile game back in February, the community has been left in the dark since that announcement. Now we know that the new game will be Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! and that it will be a runner (Temple Run). The game will be available for Android and iOS users, but we'll have to wait a little longer. Only a very limited number of lucky people in Malaysia have been granted early access to test it. Otherwise, go to the official website to pre-order the game and get an exclusive free skin (blue)!
Crash Bandicoot on mobile, a small novelty
The famous Bandicoot (no, it's not a fox, a dog or a coyote) was not born yesterday! He already has a long history behind him, the first Crash Bandicoot game dating back to 1996. While Crash Bandicoot 4: It's about time will be released in 2020, the saga has been mainly focused on the console medium since its beginnings. Playstation, GameCube, Wii, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PC... It has been exported to the vast majority of media. But it had not yet tackled the mobile games market!
For its first attempt, it is not doing anything rash as it has gone for the developer King. This is the studio behind the successful Candy Crush saga. With such a calling card, Crash Bandicoot on mobile can expect to be a big hit.
A runner who will have to find depth
Runner games are simple but often effective in passing the time. They also offer a proven business model. They are usually free to play, and players can spend money to advance faster and get bonuses. However, for a saga like Crash Bandicoot, it will still take a little more depth on mobile to appeal to die-hard fans.
Players who enjoyed the previous versions of the game will have much less freedom. In order to attract a maximum of players, there should be the possibility to do challenges and fight bosses. Normally, some of the levels would use well-known settings, as a nod to the previous games.
