As part of Activision, King is the largest mobile game developer in existence today; with games like Candy Crush, they have proven to dominate the mobile market. But despite this, they announced the closure of the servers of Crash Bandicoot: On The Run, a classic mainstream game that seeks to keep the player in a game as long as possible.
The endless runner game launched in 2021, now it looks like things haven’t gone well enough and they’ll be shutting down their servers on February 16, 2023. But not only that, since December 18 micro transactions within the game, in addition to the purple gems purchased will only be redeemable until February 16, so if you have played and have this currency, you must spend it or you will lose it forever.
Bringing your favorite Crash characters to life meant a lot and we absolutely loved making this game,” King said in a statement. Thank you for spending your time with us and we hope you’ll join us in one of our many other games.
Mobile games, Microsoft’s strategy to reach as many people as possible
As Microsoft and Xbox have explained on several occasions, what they are looking for with the purchase of Activision Blizzard King is to be able to include their games and services, such as Xbox Game Pass, in a complete ecosystem that does not does not exclude the community that plays on mobile phones. Moreover, thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming, accessibility in video games can grow in monumental ways.
While King is closing the servers for this Crash, a new installment in the franchise was announced at The Game Awards gala. It’s about Crash Team Rumble, a cooperative experience that will arrive in mid-2023 and which promises to be very interesting with this new proposal.
