Crash Team Rumble is coming soon, with an early beta for those who preorder!

After getting announced a few months back, Crash Team Rumble not only has a release date but news on an upcoming beta for those looking to get their hands on the title before the release. Set for release on June 20th, 2023, Crash Team Rumble puts 2 teams of 4 together to face off in an arena-based MOBA.

In Crash Team Rumble, fans can play from a roster of friends and frenemies from the Crash universe, each of which fall into one of the three roles – Blocker, Booster, or Scorer. Teams strategically utilize the different roles to work together to be the first to bank the most Wumpa fruit in their drop-off zone, while simultaneously defending their opponent team’s drop zone. Unique Relic Powers bring an additional strategic element to the game, which squadmates can use to gain the upper hand when scoring, leading their team to victory. Crash Team Rumble features cross-platform play, allowing players across multiple consoles to squad up and jump into the competition.

Crash Team Rumble will include 10 characters from the Crash Bandicoot universe (5 heroes and 5 villains) to choose from. Each character will have equipable powers and special moves and abilities to strategize with, so choosing characters based on team members will seemingly play a big part in the gameplay!

Starting today, fans can pre-order Crash Team Rumble to receive access to the Closed Beta*, scheduled to take place April 20-24. This early preview allows fans to play the game ahead of launch, and provides Toys For Bob the opportunity to partner with the community to create the best game experience for launch.

“We’re incredibly excited for fans to get an early hands-on with Crash Team Rumble during April’s Closed Beta,” said Paul Yan, Co-Studio Head at Toys For Bob. “We truly value the community’s feedback and will use this input to fine tune the game for an amazing player experience on launch day. See you in the Closed Beta!”

Crash Team Rumblewill be released on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox® Series X/S and Xbox One® for $29.99 SRP for the Standard Edition, and $39.99 SRP for the Deluxe Edition. The Crash Team Rumble Standard Edition features the full game, additional post-launch seasonal content and limited time modes, access to the Closed Beta (for those who pre-order) and the Season 1 Premium Battle Pass.

Both editions grant players access to exciting post-launch seasonal content.
