From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crash Bandicoot is a series of video games created by Naughty Dog and owned and published by Activision. The mainline entries are 3D platformers following the anthropomorphic bandicoot Crash and his allies as they foil the schemes of Doctor Neo Cortex and his minions. The series began with the 1996 PlayStation game Crash Bandicoot, followed by the sequels Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (1997) and Crash Bandicoot: Warped (1998). Mainline titles released after Naughty Dog's departure include Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (2001) and Crash Twinsanity (2004) by Traveller's Tales, as well as Crash of the Titans (2007) and Crash: Mind over Mutant (2008) by Radical Entertainment. In 2020, Toys for Bob released Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, a sequel to the original trilogy; a planned follow-up was cancelled in 2024, partly due to that title's underperformance. Beyond platformers, the series includes kart racing games, party games, crossovers, and mobile spin-offs.
