Crash Bandicoot is a beloved gaming mascot who was given a resurgence in popularity thanks to the delightful Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy remaster, and the similarly rejiggered Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled. With the manic marsupial once again in favour, many hoped that we’d see a brand new Crash Bandicoot from custodian Activision, giving us further platforming adventures for a character who very nearly served as the face of the PlayStation brand, like a discount Mario.

Well, there’s a new Crash Bandicoot game coming. But please, please do not get excited just yet. It’s coming from Activision subsidiary King, and if you know anything about King, you know that they’re purveyors of micro-transaction laden mobile games. And yes, it looks like the next Crash Bandicoot game will be one of those.

Twitter users JumpButton and Motwera discovered some game assets, showing that the next Crash Bandicoot game will be a mobile Endless Runner game, in the same vein as games like subway surfer and Sonic Dash.

And yes, that’s probably not what you were hoping for. Of course, the existence of a new mobile Crash bandicoot doesn’t preclude the notion of a new core game in the series. Anyway, here’s the full store listing description for Crash Bandicoot’s first mobile foray. Honestly, it doesn’t sound too bad and could be a fun time-waster – as long as there’s not too much grind and push for MTX.

Everyone’s favourite marsupial, now on mobile!

Calling all Bandicoots! Crash is back, this time on mobile! Embark on a brand new adventure with your favourite characters and put a stop to Dr Neo Cortex’s evil plan to destroy the multiverse!

In this new episode, Dr Neo Cortex dispatched mutagen henchmen across the multiverse to enslave all dimensions. With the help of his spirited sister Coco, Crash must strike and bash Cortex’s minions back to their own worlds!

    The King logo should be warning enough.
