Was Microsoft supposed to cancel Crash Bandicoot 5? Will the new Spyro face the same fate?

When Microsoft acquired Activision, it immediately gained the rights to the publisher’s biggest brands, including Call of Duty and WarCraft, as well as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. Unfortunately, this isn’t good news.

A few months ago, news spread around the world that after Microsoft merged with Activision Blizzard, Microsoft was laying off nearly 2,000 people, followed by more cuts and then project cuts. The only team that was saved from Phil Spencer’s big knife was Toys for Bob, the studio responsible for the remakes of the Spyro trilogy, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and Crash Team Rumble.

A man named Nicholas Colley, who worked as a lead artist on Crash Bandicoot 4 and a character designer on Spyro Reignited Trilogy, recently revealed on Twitter that Microsoft failed to save one of the studio’s projects that the company had been working on for years. It’s a certain Project Dragon game, which is supposedly not a Spyro game, but 3 years ago there was an internal struggle to save the project from failure. Additionally, it was also revealed that no one from Activision or Microsoft wanted to save Crash Bandicoot 5, which we might hear about after the NDA expires. It’s a shame that Crash Team Rumble had to be canceled from Crash 5 production, because it could have been a really interesting production – Toys for Bob was actually smarter and had a lot of new experiences.

CONFIRMED: Microsoft has cancelled Crash Bandicoot 5, developed by Toys For Bob.
