Found byTwisted Voxel, Schadt’s resume states that over five million of the fan-favorite sequel have sold since its debut in 2020. He’s also listed Crash Team Rumble, which apparently took two and a half years of development time from Toys for Bob after releasing and updating the multiplayer title.
Schadt also says the “Highly acclaimed remake of Insomniac’s classic trilogy, built from scratch” theSpyro Reignited Trilogyreportedly sold 10 million copies.
Interestingly, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time only took two years to develop, according to the LinkedIn profile.

With 10 million copies sold, it only makes sense to make a new game with the purple dragon.
