Crash Bandicoot quickly established itself as an emblematic character in the video game industry. The marsupial, both wacky and endearing, has had several episodes on PC and consoles. As Activision announces the upcoming arrival of Crash Bandicoot 4 : It’s About Time on the Steam client, it looks like a new episode is also on the way.
See you on 08/12 at the Game Awards?

It was through a content creator on YouTube named “Canadian Guy Eh” that we were able to hear about Crash Bandicoot. Since the release of Crash Bandicoot 4 : It’s About Time in 2020, the franchise had been discreet. Other than a next-gen update rolling out to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, there was no indication of what the marsupial’s future would be. Until this video, available on YouTube.
The Canadian influencer has indeed received a package from Activision, containing some information and suggestions. In the first case, it is to announce the upcoming arrival of the latest adventures of Crash on Steam, and this, from October 18th. The message, contained on a replica pizza box, leaves no room for doubt. Welcome news for a title previously available only through the Battle.net client.
A new multiplayer Crash Bandicoot game in development at Toys For Bob?
Regarding the suggestions, another message on the cardboard suggests that an announcement would soon be made. It would probably be a new episode of the franchise since the sentence indicates “Want to have more? Try our new wumpa pizza for $12.08! “. It is therefore in the form of a parody message that Activision seems to give us an appointment on December 8, at the next Game Awards.
Could this be the multiplayer game we evoked last June? Nothing is less certain at the present time. We will have to wait a few more weeks before knowing what Crash Bandicoot has in store for us in the future. In the meantime, you can discover the contents of this surprising kit by watching the video of Canadian Guy Eh.
