Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy Surpasses 20 Million Sales Milestone
Activision has recently announced that the Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing 20 million unit sales. This is a significant achievement for the game, which was initially launched in 2017 on the PlayStation 4 and later made available on other platforms such as the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC in 2018. The fact that the Trilogy has doubled its sales since 2019, when it reached the 10 million mark, demonstrates the enduring popularity of Activision’s classic franchises.
The Resurgence of the Crash Bandicoot Series
The success of the N. Sane Trilogy has sparked a resurgence in the Crash Bandicoot series. Activision capitalized on this momentum by releasing Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, a remake of the popular Crash Team Racing game, in 2019. The following year, they introduced an entirely new Crash title called Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. These new additions to the series have not only delighted long-time fans but also attracted new players to the franchise.
Expanding Beyond Traditional Gaming Platforms
In addition to the mainline console and PC releases, Activision has expanded the Crash Bandicoot universe into other platforms and genres. In 2021, they launched Crash Bandicoot: On the Run, a mobile endless runner game that allows players to experience the excitement of the franchise on their smartphones. This move towards mobile gaming highlights Activision’s commitment to reaching a broader audience and adapting to the evolving gaming landscape.
Looking Ahead
While the future of the Crash Bandicoot series is uncertain, it is evident that Activision has successfully revitalized this beloved franchise. The original developer of the N. Sane Trilogy, Vicarious Visions, has undergone some changes and is now known as Blizzard Albany. They have recently co-developed Diablo IV, demonstrating their versatility as a studio. Additionally, Toys for Bob, the developer behind Crash Bandicoot 4, has separated from Activision and is currently working on their first independent project. As for Activision’s plans for Crash in the immediate future, it remains to be seen. However, with the continued success and popularity of the series, it wouldn’t be surprising to see more exciting Crash Bandicoot adventures in the years to come.
