Crash Team Rumble was confirmed by the developers to NOT be considered a MOBA so I believe the listed genre is wrong. 66.190.228.103 (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Provide a reliable source, please. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 21:45, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is one of them, but from my understanding the developers of the game announced this to journalists during a media only showcase of the game but I am not sure if they have released a public statement about it anywhere yet. 66.190.228.103 (talk) 09:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Seems reliable enough either way. Changes have been applied. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 17:01, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I also just saw a video posted by PlayStation to Twitter describing it as a "Competitive Multiplayer Platformer"

Found a different source with a more precise descriptor. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 00:32, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I see what you're going for here but I'm not really sure this would qualify as an RTS either, based upon the description given of that genre on this site it doesn't fully fit that formula (i.e., "In a real-time strategy game, each participant positions structures and maneuvers multiple units under their INDIRECT CONTROL to secure areas of the map and/or destroy their opponents' assets.) Not trying to be a pain here just trying to pinpoint the most accurate description here. But I think this is still more accurate than a MOBA, and I guess it will work for now until we get more official information. 66.190.228.103 (talk) 02:12, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I just found a new source that includes an interview with the Senior Studio Coordinator for Toys for Bob, Sydney Del Signore where she says “We’re trying to figure out what genre it is. So we’re saying 4v4 competitive strategic platformer, right? Which you haven’t seen that before. You’ve seen other Crash games in the past that have done different things but you haven’t seen the platforming experience in a multiplayer.”
