Crash Online
Crash Online was the provisory title to what may have been Crash's first ever video game for PC. It was first mentioned in a brief article published by Kotaku in 2006 about Vivendi Games annual plans, including their subsidiary Sierra Online. However, just like most other games mentioned in the same article, it never saw the light of day.
To this day, nothing has really surfaced about this mysterious game. The obvious title suggests some form of online gameplay integrity. The only sign of its existence left is the tiny logo that can be seen above reading Crash Online.

This is what Sierra Online had to say about Crash Online back in 2006:
Initial releases focus on original, catalog and licensed short-session games (West); In mid-session the focus is on FreeStyle (West) and Crash (China).
FreeStyle is a Korean game that Sierra Online was bringing to the US at the time, so this would possibly mean that Crash Online was to be focused on China, or more likely, was going to be exclusive to it.
Some speculate that the game was recycled or released as Crash Village in 2006, which was a small online lobby for Crash fans, but it seems unlikely to be the case. But to this day, even the genre of the game remains unknown as well. An MMO perhaps, but who knows what it could have possibly been. It is safe to say, that we are most likely to never learn more about Crash Online and its plans.
