Crash Bandicoot 5 Cancellation
It all turned into a hot topic when Nicholas Kole, shared on social media platforms, regarding the cancellation that stated, the “Project Dragon” game was now dead…
The statement does not match up with Crash Bandicoot so many assumed that Nicholas Kole was talking about Spyro the Dragon. Later on, he clarified by stating “It is not Spyro, but someday folks will hear about the Crash 5 that never was and it’s gonna break hearts.”
As per Nicholas Kole, two different studios were working on two different projects. There is a possibility that Toys for Bob was not even developing Crash Bandicoot 5. It is a likely scenario if you take Crash Bandicoot 4 into consideration.
