Crash Bandicoot Fighting 2: Armageddon

Crash Bandicoot Fighting 2: The Fight Heats Up is the future sequel to Crash Bandicoot Fighting that will be released in 2013 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii U. The developer will be Vicarious Visions, taking over from Neversoft, but the publisher will still be Activision. Unlike the first game, mature elements will be omitted to get a T and PEGI 12 Rating. The Japan-exclusive sequel to this game will be Crash Bandicoot Fighting 3D: Dark Resurrection.

The game aims for a more classical approach than its predecessor, and all characters have their look from Crash Twinsanity. It also has significantly more simpler gameplay and much less characters, limited to Crash Bandicoot and Neo Cortex. In addition, some less-known characters such as Farmer Ernest and Megamix are now in the game. Similarly to Sonic Heroes, players can level up their characters.
