Activision's mascot revival may not stop at one purple dragon. According to a report, a brand-new Crash Bandicoot game is in development — though you should treat this as a rumor, not a confirmation.
Who said it, and when
The claim comes from industry leaker noarmsandnolegs (@noarmsandnolegs on X), posted on June 7, 2026 — the same insider who correctly called the Spyro: A Realm Beyond reveal ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase.
"A new Crash Bandicoot game is scheduled too, but will not be unveiled for the moment. Patience, Wumpa lovers!"
The context
Activision has leaned hard into nostalgia: Toys for Bob's Spyro: A Realm Beyond was announced for next year, the franchise's first original entry since 2008. A Crash follow-up would mirror the one-two punch that worked a decade ago with the N. Sane and Reignited trilogies. The most recent mainline entry, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, launched in October 2020, so a new game is overdue.
What it means for players
If both mascots are genuinely returning, expect a steady drip of reveals through 2026 and beyond. Given the insider's recent track record with Spyro, it's a credible lead — but with no official word from Activision, temper expectations until a formal announcement.
While you wait: today's best PC deals
No Crash yet, but plenty of great adventure games are cheap right now, including Hogwarts Legacy from $0.90 and Elden Ring from $29.47 across the stores we track.
