Crash Bandicoot 5: A Cancelled Spyro Crossover

 

 

 

DidYouKnowGaming and Liam Robertson did a video talking about a cancelled Crash Bandicoot 5 game that would've taken place after Crash 4: It's About Time. It started development in 2022 during Crash Team Rumble's development.

For Toys For Bob's concept of Crash Bandicoot 5, Uka Uka would be the main villain, enter an interdimensional portal underneath the Academy of Evil and use it to reach Spyro's universe. He would corrupt the dragon elders in a ritual and use them to spread chaos across the Dragon Realms and it would affect Crash's dimension as well.

Crash and Coco follow after Uka Uka into Spyro's dimension to stop him. They would eventually meet Spyro the Dragon and they join forces to restore the Dragon Elders and defeat Uka Uka. The dragon elders we save would grant Spyro and Crash abilities from their feathers, similar to how the sentient masks from the Crash Bandicoot games would grant Crash powers.

Spyro and Crash would've been the two main playable characters, with Coco and Nina Cortex being considered as well. There were ideas of old Spyro worlds being reimagined with Crash Bandicoot style gameplay, like Crash needing Spyro's help in platforming and Crash riding on Spyro's back or using him as a weapon. There were ideas of playing Spyro or Crash separately, or together on the same screen.

One of the ideas was to shed light on Uka Uka's backstory and the source of his rivalry with Aku Aku.

Scrapped Spyro Game Concept by Vicarious Visions

Liam Robertson revealed that Vicarious Visions had an idea for a Spyro game that Activision turned down.

Vicarious Visions thought about making their own Spyro game for the franchise. It sounded similar to Spyro's Kingdom. The game was going to be a new take on Spyro, taking place many years after the original games with Spyro being an adult dragon. But instead of playing as Spyro, players control their own original dragon character with customizations and Spyro being their mentor in teaching them how to be dragon warriors.

The game would've taken place on a mysterious island that reemerged after years of being lost. The player would explore the island in open world fashion, doing missions for Spyro and other characters, and getting collectibles as the world evolved. The player could even team up with friends online to explore the island together. Gameplay was a mix between exploration and combat, on both the ground and in the air with erial dogfights against enemies. Vicarious Visions even made a prototype for the project and was testing out flight mechanics for the dragon before Activision shut it down to focus more of their other big hit video games.

Skylanders Academy Season 1and 2 Q&A with Eric Rogers

I reached out to Eric Rogers and asked him a couple of questions about Season 1 and 2 of Skylanders Academy he worked on.


1. You mentioned that Spyro, Stealth Elf and Eruptor are in their early-teens in the show. Early teens usually range from 13-15.5 years old. And in Season 2, we see the trio as professors to the cadets. Was there a time-skip somewhere in Season 1 or 2? And is Cynder around Spyro's age?
Eric: Spyro, Stealth Elf, and Eruptor are more like older classmen to incoming freshmen to a high school. Cynder is close In age, but just brand new to the academy. So it's more like the kids who already go to the school showing the new kid the ropes.

2. During Thankstaking for the Memories episode, everyone but Spyro and Stealth Elf went home or elsewhere for the holiday. Did Cynder stay at the Academy? She couldn’t have gone home back in the Cadaverous Crypts for the holiday, especially after she chose to become a hero and leave her father Malefor.
Eric: No Cynder, in my head she left and spent the holiday with a friend. Kind of like Harry Potter spending a holiday with the Weasleys instead of going home!

3. Did Master Eon adopt Spyro out of guilt and redemption for having banished his family out of Skylands?
Eric: Yes!

4. Do Spyro, Stealth Elf, Eruptor, Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz have an official team name? Fans have called them "Team Spyro" based on Spyro's dialogue from the pilot episode, and Jet-Vac is said to be the leader of the team in the episode "Who's Your Daddy?"
Eric: Honestly they're just Skylanders, nothing specific with those chosen members. Jet-Vac is the defacto "leader" due to being the elder statesman of the group.

5. Was the Skylander Gill Grunt considered for Skylanders Academy? He's also one of the several fan favorites that you see getting a new toy figure every year for the Skylanders video games.
Eric:  I absolutely wanted Gill Grunt and had awesome plans for him. But budget constraints wouldn't allow him to be introduced on my watch.

6. Do the cadets have their own dorms at the Academy to go to afterschool and rest?
Eric: Yes!! The Academy is very much like Hogwarts.

7. Why do some locations from the games look different in Academy? The Skylanders Academy borrowed the same models from the Skylanders Trap Team video game, but the other locations look very generic, even Cloudcracker Prison.
Eric: Because of CGI. It wasn't simple or cheap to recreate locations that we wanted from the game. So corners get cut. 

Microsoft and Toys For Bob reached an agreement on unannounced project

Toys For Bob and Microsoft announced they have reached an agreement for their first independent game. This raises speculation on what kind of game they are developing. Spyro fans are speculating that this unknown game is a new Spyro title.

During a recent townhall meeting described to us by sources familiar with the event, a staffer asked the panellists about Toys for Bob, given that they're now going independent separate from Microsoft and Activision. Toys for Bob's leadership was adamant about keeping the team together, and also about returning to the style of game the studio is known for. 

Microsoft referenced how they spun out Twisted Pixel in the past, as an alternative option to shuttering studios. Matt Booty, now leading Xbox's game content division, reportedly said that an agreement has now been reached between Xbox and Toys for Bob for their first game as an independent studio. However, he stopped short of describing exactly what it will be, although he did say something along the lines of, and I'm paraphrasing, "it will be similar to games Toys for Bob has made in the past."
