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.

Microsoft to release 'The Mandalorian' Xbox controller bundle

Source: Microsoft

Microsoft is gearing up for the second season of The Mandalorian with a new Xbox controller bundle. It includes a single gamepad and charging stand skinned in the armour Din Djarin wears partway through season one. It's not going to be cheap, though. The controller comes in at US$160 (around CA$211). Do we have to blame the fictional, rare beskar steel from the show?

If you are a fan with some money to spare, the accessory might be for you. This could be the last accessory for the current Xbox generation, but it's still possible to use it with the Xbox Series X and Series S. The bundle is coming to the US at the end of the year. But as Engadget points out, this might be a placeholder, and we could see it arrive earlier.

Aside from plans to revamp the AirPods, Apple is reportedly working on its other audio offerings. Bloomberg reports that its rumoured over-ear headphones is still in the works. Its design has been changed to reduce the size of the external touch pads and the amount of swappable parts. It might retain the replaceable ear pads but not the headband. The headphones were supposed to enter production a few weeks ago. But it had to be pushed back because of issues with the headband being too tight.

The company is also supposedly discussing plans to release another HomePod that sits between HomrPod and HomePod mini, price-wise. But this speaker is reportedly still in development, and it might not even be released. But we're keeping an eye out for it, in case it does get launched.
