Having been announced during December’s Game Awards show Crash Team Rumble is set to enter a closed beta between April 20th, 2023, and April 24th, 2023 before it’s full release on June 20th, 2023. In a post on the Activision Blog, the developers of the upcoming fighting game, Toys for Bob, announced that the game’s Battle Pass will not be required to access new characters.
We want a balanced experience for every player to enjoy the N. Sane fun that Crash Team Rumble has to offer, which is why new heroes and powers will be earned through in-game challenges and NOT tied to the Battle Pass. Battle Passes will only reward cosmetic items for those who want to get a WUMP on the season’s latest looks; however, cosmetics will also be earnable through seasonal event participation.

Alongside this, players should expect seasons to include unique events, challenges, new modes, maps, playable characters, and new powers.
