Activision Publishing announced today that the all-new Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 2. Toys for Bob, the Activision-owned studio that previously worked on the Skylanders titles and the Spyro Reignited trilogy remake, is working on the game, which is sure to excite Crash fans who haven’t had a brand-new title in 12 years. Preorders are available now.

Shawn Layden, the former head of Sony’s game studios, stirred excitement around Crash Bandicoot when he wore a Crash Bandicoot T-shirt at a Sony event in December 2015. Activision duly bowed to fan demand and launched the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remake in 2017. It followed that up with another remake, Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, in 2019. Word of the new game leaked over the weekend due to an early posting by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee.
