Crash Bandicoot Netflix Series Announced

It looks like Crash Bandicoot is making a comeback, this time in animated form on Netflix! Reports from What’s on Netflix suggest that WildBrain Studios, the animation studio behind Sonic Prime, is working on a Crash Bandicoot series for the streaming platform. This will be the first time Crash Bandicoot will have his own show, which is pretty exciting news.

While details about the release date and plot of the animated series are still under wraps, fans can look forward to seeing Crash Bandicoot in a whole new light. In the world of video games, things have been quieter for Crash lately. After the release of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy in 2018, we saw a few more titles like Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled in 2019, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time in 2020, and Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! in 2021. The most recent addition was Crash Team Rumble in 2023, but unfortunately, support for the game was cut short less than a year after launch.

Now, the big question on everyone’s mind is whether a new Crash Bandicoot video game is in the works. Rumors circulated last year that Microsoft, who now owns Crash Bandicoot after acquiring Activision Blizzard, had struck a deal with former Crash Bandicoot developer Toys for Bob for their next project. In February 2024, Toys for Bob announced that they would be parting ways with Activision to become an independent developer. While their first project is still in the early stages, fans are hopeful that it could bring a revival of Crash or other beloved IPs like Spyro.

As Netflix continues to dive into video game adaptations, the Crash Bandicoot animated series is just the latest in their lineup. With successful adaptations like Castlevania and League of Legends: Arcane, it’s clear that the streaming giant is committed to bringing beloved franchises to life in new and exciting ways. Who knows what other surprises are in store for Crash Bandicoot fans in the future?
