Crash & The Boys (and Girls)
At The Game Awards 2022, Activision announced a brand new title set in the zany, madcap world ofCrash Bandicoot— but unlike the typical 3D platformers for which the series is renowned,Crash Team Rumblewill instead see the series’ colorful cast square off in a bout of multiplayer madness.
Crash Team Rumble, currently in development for PlayStation and Xbox, will see Crash, Coco, Tawna, Dr. Cortex, and many other heroes and villains from the beloved series battle it out in 4-v-4 team-based action. Players will race to gather Wumpa Fruit for their squad, racing back to bank it in their home base while defending their stock from the opposing team and getting into frenzied melee scraps out on the battlefield. Each character will be afforded their own special skills and bespoke abilities, so teamwork and character synergy will be the key to claiming victory.
“We’re so excited to unveil our fresh new take on multiplayer in theCrashuniverse withCrash Team Rumble,” said Toys for Bob’s Paul Yan in a press release. “Crash Team Rumblehas something for everyone— easy pick-up and play for those who just want to jump in, while also providing skilled gamers the opportunity to leverage and master their hero’s unique abilities.”
While not quite the long-rumoredSuper Smash Bros.clonethat people have been expecting, this all-new take on the wild ‘n’ wacky world ofCrashcould prove to be a pretty neat party title, and feels more in the vein of aSplatoonthan aSmash Bros.I don’t see my boy Ripper Roo just yet, but I do see my mirror image, (Dingodile), so I guess I’ve found my main already.
Crash Team Rumblewill launch in 2023 on PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
