Looking ahead to 2018 Max picks out Crash Bandicoot as one to watch. The new game was a huge success at retail with no marketing spend. Next year it will be going broader (Switch and PC) and there will be another game in 2019.

Sounds like more games are coming too on all platforms as well which can only be a good thing. Just a shame that we’ve gotta wait so long to see any results though.
