It's happening! A brand-new Crash Bandicoot game has been announced and is coming later this year. After the long hiatus the franchise took from 2010 to 2016, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remasters sold extremely well, as did Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. With that in mind, the announcement of a completely new title isn't too surprising.
As it's the first completely new Crash game to arrive since 2008's Crash: Mind over Mutant, there's a lot to go over here that should make Crash fans very happy. Here's everything we know about Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

Sane Trilogy, as well as leading the development of Spyro Reignited Trilogy. It's clear Toys for Bob has plenty of experience working on older platforming IPs being brought into the modern age.
