Cancelled Crash Bandicoot 5 Would Have Featured Spyro Crossover

Activision halted development to focus on live-service games despite positive reception to Crash Bandicoot 4.

Crash Bandicoot 5 was planned as a direct sequel to Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.
The game would have included a crossover with Spyro the Dragon, featuring both characters as playable.
Development was canceled due to Activision's shift towards live-service titles after deeming Crash 4's sales insufficient.
Toys for Bob, the studio behind the game, has since gone independent and partnered with Microsoft for future projects.
Concept art and story ideas from the canceled game have been revealed, showing an interdimensional threat uniting Crash and Spyro.
