Around this time last year, we were discussing rumors of a Crash Team Racing remaster, which came to fruition with the announcement of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.
Now, one year later, we once again have Crash Bandicoot rumors to discuss.
The latest wave of rumors began last month, when PlayStation’s “It’s Time to Play” advertisement included an unknown mask character in the background of the Crash Team Racing segment.
Fans also spotted a bus advertisement featuring a new render of Crash.
That brings us to today, with both a State of Play and the 2019 Game Awards on the horizon, both good opportunities for a new Crash Bandicoot game to be announced.
Youtuber/streamer Canadian Guy Eh tweeted about how several social media influencers posted pictures of themselves with little Crash figurines they received. This resembles what happened last year, when Crash-themed dice and cookies were sent to people ahead of the Nitro-Fueled reveal.
There hasn’t been a new Crash Bandicoot game in a long time, with 2008’s Crash: Mind Over Mutant being the last non-mobile entry, and even the last mobile game being a racing spin-off from 2010.
It’s possible that the positive reception to both the N. Sane Trilogy and Nitro-Fueled means the series is finally getting a brand new entry again.
So, will a new Crash Bandicoot game be announced either tomorrow at Sony’s State of Play presentation or Thursday at the Game Awards? If so, what will it be like? Share your predictions in the comments!
