Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! was a mobile endless runner from King, soft launched in Malaysia in 2020 before hitting the world in 2021. Players ran as Crash or his sister Coco, whipping up weaponry from collectible ingredients and dressing up in cosmetic skins while chasing bosses through procedurally generated levels. Critics called it visually impressive and nostalgic, and the team packed in obscure older character
After a steady stream of 2021 updates adding levels, bosses, and skins, the game was discontinued in 2023. It was the product of a license King secured from Activision, and it folded a whole franchise history into a runner's shoes. The bandicoot survives elsewhere, but the mobile world he sprinted through is gone.
