The next game franchise to get a Netflix show (or shows, in this case) is Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed. The streaming service and game developer plan on developing live-action, animated, and anime series based on the title. 

First up is the live-action adaptation, which will have Ubisoft Film & Television's Jason Altman and Danielle Kreinik onboard as executive producers. They're currently in search of the series' showrunner. Without a showrunner yet, it might take some time before we see this project come out.

The new Crash Bandicoot mobile version didn't have a release date or official title when King first announced the game. Now, we learn from the developer that the game is called Crash Bandicoot: On The Run and that it'll arrive sometime in Spring 2021.

The game will be an endless runner, with weapons crafting and base building thrown into the mix. Aside from Crash, it'll have characters like Coco, Fake Crash, and Crash's nemesis Neo Cortex. Like Android users, iOS users can now pre-register for the game. Those who sign up will get a notification when the game is available for download. You will also get a mobile-exclusive Blue Hyena Skin from Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled on launch day.
