All signs are pointing to that wily Bandicoot making a return with a new game. A recent leak via Twitter has spread a lot of information about the upcoming title, including the pre-order bonus for a digital purchase
Of the images that all stem for what is likely to be the reveal trailer for Crash Bandicoot 4, one shows off two costumes players can use. The "Totally Tubular" skins are some radical and colorful 90s looks that can be applied to Crash and Coco in Crash Bandicoot 4. We can't show the images in this post, but fans can click here to see them.
It is with this image that the leaks also confirm that Coco herself will be playable. This isn't all that surprising as Crash's little sister Coco Bandicoot was playable in the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy.
All of these leaks come from Twitter user UncleJansom who seems to have access to the reveal trailer. This full leak of screenshots and info, which includes an October 9 release date, comes in as a something as a surprise. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time was a known entity thanks to the Taiwanese rating board but not much else was known outside of a title.
It seems this information came just two days before what was to be the official reveal of Crash Bandicoot 4. The reveal will still likely take place on June 22 at the Summer Game Fest Developer Showcase. Most signs point to it being the same trailer the screens were grabbed from, but watching a trailer will give a much better sense of developer Toys For Bob's take on Crash Bandicoot.
There are some bigger implications with the announcement of a new Crash game. Likely one of the biggest reasons for Activision to bring the original PlayStation mascot back was due to the wildly successful remakes. The Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy sold over 10 Million Units and Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled also did great numbers.
With a new Crash Bandicoot on the way, some are looking to the other Activision properties that could receive similar treatment. Early rumors indicate that fans of a certain purple dragon won't have to wait long as a new Spyro title is possibly in development. It followed a similar path of a successful remake trilogy so a new game looks much more likely now.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is in development for PS4 and Xbox One.
