Crash Bandicoot: On the Run Won’t Let You Avoid the Noid
A
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run crossover is on the way, but it doesn’t involve another game series. Activision’s King and Domino’s announced a Noid
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run event. It will kick off on May 7, 2021 and include the character and themed skins.
In
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run, people will face up against bosses as they go through the endless runner. When this Domino’s event starts, the Noid will appear as a mini-boss. As a reminder, the game handles boss stages similarly to normal ones. As Crash runs along the three lanes, the boss will toss obstacles at him that might block part of the path.
