Activision revealed Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time with an announcement trailer in June.
The Toys For Bob-developed game will release on October 2 for Xbox One and PS4, while an Xbox Series X version has also been confirmed to be in development.
Narratively, the sequel connects to the original Crash trilogy developed by Naughty Dog, its developer said, and offers “dense and focused” platforming gameplay evocative of those games.
2017’s Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, a remastered compilation of the first three Crash games developed by Vicarious Visions (Toys for Bob handled the Switch port), has sold over 10 million copies according to Activision.
