Activision Blizzard Plans More Remasters After N.Sane Trilogy’s Insane Success

When it was announced that a remastered version of the three Crash Bandicoot games would be produced, many expected it to be a success due to the nostalgia factor. However, not even Activision could have predicted just how much and how long it would top charts. The remaster was so successful, in fact, that the publisher is now thinking about giving some of its other properties the same treatment.

The publisher made its intentions known during a conference call with investors, after completely dazzling them with the quarterly earnings reports. Activision noted how successful the game is despite being based on old titles, GameSpot reports and discussed how it might look into its other titles as well.

When CEO Eric Hirshberg was asked about the impact of the N.Sane Trilogy on the future of Activision, he revealed that the game’s performance completely surpassed every expectation that they had.

"We knew that there was a passionate audience out there for Crash--full disclosure, myself among them--but we had no idea... it's hard to tell if that's a vocal minority or that's a real mass audience until you put something out there,” Hirshberg told investors.0” Crash has surpassed all of our expectations by a pretty wide margin."

Of course, the Crash Bandicoot games are not exactly the first IPs that Activision has chosen to give a fresh coat of paint. The phenomenal Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was treated to a smoother, more polished effort and it was received with oodles of praise. The upcoming remaster for the original Starcraft is expected to give Activision’s player base a good boost as well, VentureBeat reports.

As of now, there’s no indication as to which title the publisher will be targeting next. Considering just how many iconic properties are under Activision’s belt, however, the company certainly has no shortage of options.
