Its iconic gameplay and character have led to various adaptations, including a successful remaster in 2017 and several sequels.

Honestly, Netflix turning Crash into a cartoon feels like the perfect way to keep the orange dude relevant while we wait for gaming news. Between this and Toys for Bob going indie, it's a pretty exciting time to be a fan even without a new game announcement.
Honestly, seeing Crash finally get his own animated series feels like a natural next step for the franchise. It’s awesome that Netflix is continuing to tap into gaming’s rich history, and I’m curious to see if this sparks a new game down the line.
