Crash Wumpa League’s timeline is, obviously, ignorable to a degree. The timeline goes back to August 2019, notably before theCOVID-19 pandemicarrived. It’s safe to assume that even ifCrash Wumpa League’s development was on track up to that point, it has deviated significantly since. It’s possible that the game’s been reworked, canceled, restarted, or undergone any number of changes since 2019. It’s also possible that development has continued, just somewhat delayed, and thatCrash Wumpa Leaguecould be announced within a year.
Prior to the testing and release schedule details, there are some other interesting bits ofCrash Wumpa Leagueinformation worth looking at on the timeline. For example, the timeline references the addition of Heroes and Maps to the game, building to 16 Heroes and 12 Maps by launch. There’s also a reference to a Loot System, which brings up a question about justwhat kind of gameCrash Wumpa Leaguereally is.
