Crash fans of all ages will be able to spot familiar characters, landmarks, gameplay styles and more.Īnd of course, special attention was paid to making sure the runner had a sense of flow, not just in the level design itself but in your player character's ability to string various moves together.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.Įverything done in On the Run! was, in the words of the King team (including Stephen Jarrett, Gigi Chui, and Nana Li), done to focus on delivering a console-quality game on a mobile platform.

Oxide (who will kick off the app as a story-based villain at launch), a boss battle against a reimagined Scorporilla, and even the game's new Big Bad, Mr. Cortex, but also supporting players like N. That's a super-fun way for King to include iconic characters like Crash, Coco, and Dr. Neo Cortex is calling in all villains from across the multiverse to aid in domination of all dimensions, this game exists at the nexus of all possible timelines and crossovers. In Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!, you'll actually be in the center of the franchise's timeline. But to understand how all of Crash fits together in a mobile runner, you first have to get a handle on the plot itself and where it fits in the overall timeline. The first thing that the folks at King stressed to us before revealing everything they had to share about the upcoming game is that their mantra was to make "the Crashiest Crash game, ever." That included looking back at 25 years of Crash Bandicoot to pull from the franchise's official canon and make some rather obscure characters, levels, and moments canon by including them in this game.

But there's so much more to discover in this new game, one which pulls from all the games in the Crash franchise, from the most popular, well-known, and latest releases, as well as some obscure titles that only the real die-hard fans know and love. (For transparency's sake, we didn't get a hands-on demo or anything yet, so when it comes to the app's gameplay and how Crash and Coco actually run, stay tuned.) And we here at Collider can't wait to show you more.Ĭrash Bandicoot: On the Run! will launch on March 25th ( find pre-registration links here for iOS and Android), but just last week, Collider joined a select group of games journalists from all around the world to get a sneak peek at what King is calling "The Crashiest Crash Game, Ever." And once you get a glimpse of what's coming to the app this week on launch, you might just find yourself nodding in agreement and bopping to all-new music tracks from the solo/co-op runner. Social games giant King is celebrating in their own way by bringing a mobile running game interpretation of the classic action-adventure platformer to a mobile device near you.
