Yesterday, we learned from the official franchise Twitter/X account that Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy has now sold through over 20 million units.
Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a collection of remasters of classic platformers, originally released in 2017 for PlayStation 4 and the following year on PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It was developed by Vicarious Visions (now known as Blizzard Albany following an internal reorganization within Activision Blizzard).
When the game launched on PS4, Kai Powell reviewed the game for Wccftech, awarding it an 8.9/10 score.
What else can I say? It looks great, it sounds great and plays great, when you’re not getting ready to throw your controller in frustration from falling off that bridge one last time. All in all, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is one of the best remasters I’ve played in a long while and is a must-play for anyone who wants to take a trip back to their childhood. It also looks like this is just the beginning for Crash...
Indeed, Crash Bandicoot received a brand new installment called It's About Time in 2020. Developed by Toys for Bob, it was well-received but did not sell as much as Activision Blizzard hoped, which is why we didn't get a direct sequel. Toys for Bob released the spin-off multiplayer action game Crash Team Rumble, but that didn't make a splash, either.
The developer has now gone independent, but it made a deal with Microsoft to publish their first game. As such, it could have access to the Crash Bandicoot (or Spyro) IP, if Microsoft wants them to make another entry. Otherwise, it'll likely be a brand new intellectual property.
