It looks like Toys for Bob is doing something different from Wumpa League

A new Crash Bandicoot game is reportedly in the works at Toys for Bob, and it could be revealed at Summer Game Fest this week.

"Not only is it gonna be a new Crash Bandicoot, it's gonna be a multiplayer Crash Bandicoot," journalist Jez Corden said on a recent podcast (at the 1:29:05 mark). Corden didn't provide many details (he said "I wasn't supposed to leak that"), but did suggest that "it's like a four-player brawler almost, but Crash-oriented." The info came during a discussion of Summer Game Fest announcements.

Liam Robertson of DidYouKnowGaming suggested some time ago that Wumpa League was set to let teams of players compete to collect items in open-ended 3D platforming levels. Robertson notes that "there were a lot of rumours of them second guessing the core concept and some pretty out there things were being suggested. Then a bunch of key people from the project left the company."
