According to a new report from Liam Robertson, Activision canceled Crash Bandicoot 5 early in development due to low sales of Crash 4 and a shift towards live-service games.
Toys For Bob planned to develop Crash Bandicoot 5 as a sequel to Crash 4, featuring both Crash and Spyro in a shared narrative that involved saving their universes from catastrophe.
The studio only spent three to four months on Crash 5, focusing on early concept art and environments before Activision decided to prioritize online multiplayer games.
Despite the cancellation of Crash Bandicoot 5, Toys for Bob managed to stay afloat and continued their work on other projects following the setback.
