Development began on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and it was intended to be ported for Wii afterwards. A DS version was also being planned, but no team was ever decided for its development. There were a few contenders for the DS version such as Renegade Kid and WayForward, with Renegade Kid going as far as producing a playable demo as their pitch, while WayForward's pitch ended up being reworked into Galactic Taz Ball. [50] The game was meant to be a reboot of the franchise, and would have provided a new origin story for Crash, marking the beginning of a series of new adventures.

[51] The game was cancelled due to layoffs at Radical on February 11, 2010, and was abandoned in favor of Prototype 2. [52] [53]
