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.
“Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time stands on the
shoulders of the core precision gameplay we all fell in love with
in the ‘90s,” said Paul Yan, Co-Studio Head at Toys for Bob. “This
epic new adventure spans space and time, introducing new ways to
platform that both long-time fans and new players alike will enjoy
mastering. Get ready to fall in love with the mutant marsupials all
over again!”
Throughout this adventure, 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. Today we’re revealing the Time Mask,
which slows everything down, and the Gravity Mask, enabling
bandicoots to platform upside down. Fans will see an evolution of
the Crash they know and love, equipped with advanced gameplay
mechanics like wall running, rail grinding and rope swinging.
They’ll 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.
“Our teams have delivered two awesome remastered Crash Bandicoot
experiences and the community passion for the series continues to
be incredible. Now it is time to turn the page and give players
something entirely new,” said Rob Kostich, President at Activision.
“Loyal fans have been patiently waiting to see the journey continue
for their favorite marsupial, and we’re giving players the
completely new experience they deserve with Crash Bandicoot 4:
It’s About Time.”
To celebrate the reveal of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About
Time, Activision has teamed up with hip hop star and fellow
Crash aficionado Quavo, from the music trio Migos, who will debut
the world’s first sneak peek at gameplay today via his social
channels. Check out the game’s official trailer here.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time will be available for
the suggested retail price of $59.99. For more information on the
