Toys for Bob, the studio behind Crash Team Rumble, has announced that the multiplayer party game will be winding down. The final update for the game is set to arrive on March 4, 2024, marking the end of new content releases. Players will have one last chance to take advantage of a free 500-tier battle pass, featuring 104 new items to unlock. This update will also bring back items and collectibles from past seasons. However, after this final update, there will be no additional content planned for Crash Team Rumble.
In addition to the end of new content releases, Crash Coins, the in-game currency used in Crash Team Rumble, will be discontinued. Players will no longer be able to purchase Crash Coins for the game. However, existing Crash Coins can still be used to purchase tier skips for the Battlepass before the currency is fully discontinued.
Toys for Bob’s decision to go independent has had a significant impact on the future of Crash Team Rumble. The studio no longer holds the development rights to popular franchises like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, as these properties were owned by Activision. While Toys for Bob is working on establishing a partnership with Microsoft, the transition may present challenges for the studio.
Despite the challenges that come with going independent, Toys for Bob is looking ahead to a brighter future. The studio has confirmed that they are working on a new game, signaling a shift away from past projects like Crash Team Rumble. As Toys for Bob moves forward as an independent company, they are focused on creating new experiences and leaving the past behind.
For players who have enjoyed Crash Team Rumble, there is still time to continue playing the game for the foreseeable future. While new content updates will no longer be coming, the core game will remain live, allowing players to enjoy wumpa-slamming rounds with friends. Despite the changes on the horizon, the community can still come together to play the game they love.
The end of new content updates for Crash Team Rumble marks the end of an era for the game. However, it also signals a new chapter for Toys for Bob as they navigate the challenges of independence and pursue new opportunities in game development. Players can cherish the memories and experiences they had with Crash Team Rumble while looking forward to what the future holds for both the studio and the gaming community.
