Crash Bandicoot 4 Revealed – Watch the First Gameplay Trailer

A brand-new Crash Bandicoot game, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, has been unveiled.

Developed by Toys for Bob (who handled 2017’s brilliant Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy and the Spyro: Reignited Trilogy), Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is not a remaster, but the first original entry in the Crash franchise in more than 10 years.

To celebrate, Toys for Bob is excited to introduce a fresh art style for Crash to fans that maintains the zany spirit of the franchise while also breathing new personality and charm into it.

Rewinding time back to the end of Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time picks up after Neo Cortex, Dr. N. Tropy and Uka Uka were last stranded on a distant planet. After decades of fruitless attempts, the trio finally make their escape, ripping an Evil-Scientist-sized hole in the fabric of space-time in the process. Now all that stands between them and total dominion over the multiverse are two fuzzy marsupials from N. Sanity Island.

There are some new gameplay tweaks to the beloved formula too, as players will uncover four Quantum Masks, the guardians of space and time, that will give them the ability to bend the rules of reality and gain advanced ways to conquer dangerous obstacles. You’ll also be able to play as Crash or Coco on their journey to save the multiverse, and new playable characters, including the fiendish Neo Cortex, will also emerge to provide an alternative perspective on our hero bandicoots’ quest to defeat their nefarious nemeses.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time will hit Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 2 October 2020.
