It’s a good year to be a “Crash Bandicoot” fan. Not only is Toys for Bob working on a direct sequel to the original, PS1-era games for a fall release — you’ll also be able to steer him through an endless runner for iOS and Android before long.

“We’re really excited to bring this well-known and much-loved franchise back to mobile,” said Stephen Jarrett, vice president of game design of “Candy Crush” creator King.

The story sees Crash once again taking on his nemesis Neo Cortex as he attempts to lay claim to the multiverse. Curiously, you can expect more from the game than just the typical, flick-to-jump running segments the genre is known for. The game’s trailer notes that you’ll be able to craft additional weapons for Crash as he attempts to foil Cortex’s plans, and the press release hints that you may spend quite a bit of time building up your base with Coco and embarking on asynchronous multiplayer battles.(SD-Agencies)
