According to an in-depth report from Did You Know Gaming (full video here), Toys for Bob was once developing Crash Bandicoot 5 which would have been a crossover game with Spyro the Dragon. However, the project was ultimately cancelled.
The hook behind Crash Bandicoot 5, aside from Crash Twinsanity’s Academy of Evil making a comeback as the main setting, involved the return of Uka Uka, who previously appeared in Crash Bandicoot: Warped and was in Crash Bandicoot 4’s secret ending. Uka Uka would have gained access to an interdimensional portal in which he would travel to Spyro’s universe, use his magic on the Dragon Elders, and send that world into chaos while also threatening Crash’s home. Crash Bandicoot 5 was considered to be slightly darker compared to the previous title – in terms of both visuals and storytelling – with a stronger focus on the series’ lore.
