We always want to make sure that the end result is a game that is fun to play, with no character being better or stronger than another.

In 2014, Big Red Button, a studio founded by former Naughty Dog art director Bob Rafei, began working on a concept for a new Crash title that would have seen the series return to its original platforming roots, tentatively titled Crash-N-Burn. Although a proof of concept demo, created using CryEngine 3 and featuring Crash's original character design, was presented to Activision, nothing further is known about the project, and it is unclear if the studio was actually intent on making the game, given their commitment to the development of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric at the time. Footage from the demo was first released in September 2020. [57] Crash Landed was being accompanied by a directly related spin-off, a racing game with the likely provisory name of Crash Team Racing (not to be confused with the 1999 game), that was being developed concurrently by High Impact Games. It was initially slated for release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. It would have featured several playable characters as usual, but only Crash, Dingodile, Polar and a new character simply called Land Shark were finished before cancellation. The project was eventually retooled into DreamWorks Super Star Kartz. [54] Hillier, Brenna (January 6, 2013). "Crash Bandicoot redesign spotted at Vicarious Visions". VG247 .

Additionally, Lou Studdert, Associate Creative Director at Toys For Bob, shared with us that, “You can play as a hero or a villain, and you can have a mixture of as many heroes and villains as you want on your 4-person team. For example, you can have a team with three teammates playing Neo Cortex and one as Crash Bandicoot.”
