Konami continue to Crash
Next "Crash Bandicoot" title still to be published by Konami, along with "Jurassic Park III"
With the recent news that Sony had purchased "Crash Bandicoot" developer Naughty Dog came rumours that the Japanese behemoth would be publishing future Crash games themselves, and that they would be exclusive PlayStation 2 titles. Today publisher Konami has declared both rumours to be false, with Konami Europe's president Kunio "My Name Is" Neo saying that "we are especially looking forward to Crash Bandicoot, which will be released by us on PlayStation 2 and Xbox".
The company is also looking forward to cash cow "Jurassic Park III", a tie-in with the forthcoming movie of the same name, which is the latest in a series of products to emerge from their partnership with Universal Interactive Studios. Jurassic Park III will also be available on both PlayStation 2 and Xbox, as well GameBoy Advance. Meanwhile the Dreamcast version of third person action-adventure game "The Mummy" is expected in March. All in all it should be a busy year for the company, who set up shop in Europe just last year.
