Activision and developer Toys for Bob have revealed that players won’t need the Crash Team Rumble Battle Pass to unlock new heroes or powers. Additionally, the Battle Pass will only contain cosmetic items and new unlocked characters will be obtained through in-game challenges.
Crash Team Rumble closed beta is coming at the end of April
Activision explains that the new heroes will not be tied to the Battle Pass in Crash Team Rumble to ensure “a balanced experience for every player” to enjoy the game, as noted in a recent blog post.
The standard edition of the game will include access to the Season 1 Battle Pass Premium, while the Deluxe Edition will provide access to the Battle Pass Premium for Season 1 and Season 2. Toys for Bob expects each season to last three months and will include a new 100-tier Battle Pass. Each season will feature unique events, new modes, and new maps.
Pre-ordering any of the game’s editions will give players access to the closed beta, which will be available on PS5 and PS4 from April 20-24. The beta will test hero balance, cross-progression, and cross-platform matchmaking on Xbox and PlayStation platforms. New players will be paired with other new players so they can learn the basics at their own pace.
In January, Toys for Bob appeared to be teasing Spyro 4 on Twitter, marking the first time we got a hint of the new Spyro game from an official source.
