A true sequel for Crash Bandicoot is coming as we have the announcement of Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time coming this year
It was leaked and now it is here, with Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time getting a full announcement and showing for us to get excited for. Weirdly it will be hitting the PS4 and Xbox One on October 2nd instead of making the run for the next-gen, but it does make a little bit of sense. We are getting a new Crash Bandicoot title, so I will take it and love it. More so when we get to see how some of the masks and gameplay will be shifting us through various things and times in the same whacky story we have known for years. Time to put the excitement aside and dig into what we know as of right now besides the trailer we have to take in.
Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time is a true sequel in the franchise, and it looks like fun is going to be poked about how long that has taken, and we will be tasked with using four Quantum Masks to protect space and time. We get to see the Time and Gravity masks here with one slowing down time and the other allowing Crash to platform upside down. Along with all of the other gameplay elements we can expect in a Crash Bandicoot title. Have a look and see just what could be coming to us here soon. Now we can put all of those rumors and leaks to rest and know what is going in.
Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time — Announcement
Bandicoots get ready fur it, Crash is moving 4-ward into 2020 with a brand-new game that’s built from the ground up and It’s About Time. No, literally! Activision Blizzard, and developer Toys For Bob, are giving fans the true sequel to the original trilogy with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. Our lovingly absurd marsupials are back and putting a fresh spin, jump and wump on conflicts of cosmic proportions, discovering expansive new worlds, unexpected allies, larger-than-life boss battles, and powerful new Quantum Masks that must be united to restore order to the multiverse. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One, and Xbox One X on October 2, 2020. Pre-orders are available now.
Crash Bandicoot: 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.
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.
Have you been itching for a new Crash Bandicoot title or did the franchise fall off with all of the remasters? Did you figure this was coming after the last big trilogy that came out? Are you curious as to why they did not wait for the next-gen release for this or will we see a paid update coming to bring it all over in the backward ability? Let us all know down in the comments what you are thinking and then feel free to discuss it all. If there is more for Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time, we will have it here. Just be sure to keep checking in here for all of that and more.
