When Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time hit the gaming scene after a 12-year hiatus, fans were ecstatic. The game, developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision, turned out to be a massive success, selling over 5 million copies since its release in 2020.
Design director Toby Schadt, in an interview, described the game as a "well-received sequel," and the numbers don't lie. The positive reception was evident with both critics and players alike, giving it "generally favorable" reviews on platforms like Metacritic.
Initially available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Crash Bandicoot 4 later made its way to Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game's availability on various platforms broadened its reach and appealed to a wider audience of gamers.
But the success story doesn't end there. Recent news about Toys for Bob becoming an independent studio post the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard brought new excitement. The collaboration with Microsoft for the development of a new game sets the stage for another potential hit in the making.
With the success of Crash Bandicoot 4 exceeding expectations, the future looks bright for both the iconic bandicoot and the talented team at Toys for Bob. As they embark on new ventures and collaborations, fans can only imagine what exciting games lie ahead.
