The Crash Bandicoot franchise has been back ever since the successful release of the N. Sane Trilogy and the rebooted Crash Team Racing, and now everyone’s favorite marsupial is setting his eyes on the mobile gaming market.
According to IGN, Crash Bandicoot Mobile has had a ‘soft launch’ and is now available in select regions. The game actually comes from Candy Crush creators King, and looks to be an endless runner game with the titular Crash as the main playable character.
We’ll also get appearances from several other beloved characters in the franchise like Coco, Uka Uka, and Dingodile.
Here’s the official description on the playstore:

Crash Bandicoot has cemented itself as a classic platformer, and it’s kind of a no-brainer that it should find itself as a mobile game in today’s climate. For now, the game is still in a testing phase, and there are a lot of bugs, but once the devs manage to work out the kinks, I can imagine that we’re going to get a big launch trailer soon.
